Synthesis and Studies of Thorium (IV) and Uranyl(VI) Complexes with Some Bidentate Schiff Bases

Abstract

A series of complexes of bidentate of Schiff bases, obtained from 5-chloro-4-methyl-2-hydroxy acetophenone and substituted anilines with UO₂²⁺ and Th⁴⁺ has been synthesized. The complexes have been isolated in solid state and characterised on the  basis of elemental analysis, conductivity, UV, IR, TGA and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes formed are of the types [Th(L)₂(NO₃)₂] and [UO₂(L)₂].
