Synthesis and characterization of peroxo complexes of uranium (VI)‎ with aroylhydrazone ligands

الملخص EN

The uranium (VI) peroxo complexes containing aroylhydrazones ligands having composition [UO (O2) L-L (NO3) 2] ÆH2O (where L-L = Benzoic acid [1-(Furan-2-yl) methylene] hydrazide, Benzoic acid [ (thiophene-2-yl) methylene] hydrazide, Benzoic acid [1-(thiophene-2-yl) ethylidene] hydrazide, Benzoic acid (phenylmethylene) hydrazide, Benzoic acid [1-(anisol-3-yl) methylene] hydrazide and Benzoic acid [ (p-chlorobenzyl) methylene] hydrazide are reported.

The complexes were characterized by various physico-chemical techniques, viz.

elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infra red, electronic, mass spectral and TGA / DTA studies.

These studies revealed that complexes are non-electrolytes and diamagnetic in nature.

The ligands are bound to metal in a bidentate mode.

Thermal analysis results provide conclusive evidence for the presence of water molecules in the complexes.

Mass spectra confirm the molecular mass of the complexes.

Antifungal activity of complexes revealed enhanced activity of complexes as compared to the corresponding ligands.
