SYNTHESIS AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL STUDIES OF COMPLEX OF CO (II) WITH CINNAMYLIDENE ACETOPHENONE LIGAND (CHALCONE)

Abstract

New Mn (II), Fe (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) coordination compounds with Cinnamylidene acetophenone (Chalcone) ligand were prepared. The present study includes the synthesis and characterization of Cobalt (II) complex by elemental analysis, IR spectra, electronic spectra, magnetic studies, conductivity measurement etc. It was found that the chalcone here acts as an olefinic ligand. The spectral and magnetic data revealed the formation of high spin octahedral complex.
