Novel N2O2 Schiff base derived from 1,2-Hydrazinedicarboximidamide and its complexes with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Cr(III): Synthesis and characterization

The synthesis of a (1,2-Hydrazinedicarboximidamide) was identified in this paper and condensing it with 2-4dihydroxybenzaldehyde to form tetradentate ligand (L). This ligand used to prepare five metal complexes as chloride salts [Cu2(L)Cl2](1), [Co2(L)Cl2](2), [Ni2(L)Cl2](3), [Mn2(L)Cl2](4) and [Cr2(L)Cl2](5) in an ethanolic medium. Dimethyl formamide (DMF) prepared complexes solutions to applied it as electrolytes. The structures were confirmed by several spectroscopic and analytical techniques indicating that metal complexes are more likely to have tetrahedral-coordinated geometry. Thus, these structures indicated the ligand show similar actions as tetradentate linked to metal ion by nitrogen (azomethine) and the negative charge of oxygen atoms from hydroxyl in 2-4dihydroxybenzaldehyde.
