Studies of Vanadyl(IV) Complexes with Schiff Bases of 2-Aminopyridine

Abstract

A series of oxovanadium(IV) complexes with Schiff of 2-aminopyridine, i.e., 2-N-[benzalidene] aminopyridine (BAPY), 2-N-[p-dimethyl benzalidine] aminopyridine (PABAPy) and a thiosemicarbazone ligand, i.e., 2-N-[acetylacetone] aminopyridine thiosemicarbazone (AcAyPyT) have been synthesized. On the basis of analytical and
spectral studies complexes were found to have general composition
VOX₂L₂ (X = Cl^–, Br^–, L = BAPy or PABAPy) and VOX₂·AcAcPyT
(X = Cl^– or Br^–). V-atom is 5 or 6 coordinated depending upon the anion
present. NMR and antifungal studies, of representative complexes have
been done successfully.
