Synthesis and Characterization of Managanese(II) Complexes of Schiff Base Derived from Pyrazinamide

Abstract

A new ligand have been synthesized by the interaction of pyrazinamide with salicylaldehyde in 1 : 1 molar proportion carried out in ethanol-water mixture. The metal complex of Mn(II) with the ligand have been prepared and characterized using physicochemical methods such as elemental analysis, conductometric studies, magnetic susceptibility, IR and electronic spectral data. It has been found that the complex is non-electrolytic in nature. Spectral measurements showed that the ligand was coordinated to the metal ion through azomethine group. The magnetic moment, electronic spectral data indicate octahedral geometry of the metal complex.
