Synthesis and spectral Studies of Cu(II) Complexes of Substituted Schiff Bases

Abstract

Some novel complexes of Cu(II) with substituted Schiff bases

as ligands are reported. The complexes invariably conform to the

stoichiometry CuL₂ and CuL. The ligands behave as bidentate one

and the electronic absorption spectra, magnetic moment values and

infrared spectral data in KBr disc indicate coordination number six

to the Cu²⁺ ion. The low molar conductance values of all complexes

show non-electrolytic nature of compexes. The overall stereochemistry

has been assigned as octahedral or distorted octahedral.
