Preparation and characterization of new mixed ligand complexes of (p-methyl anilino)‎-p-chloro phenyl acetonitrile and ethylene diamine

Abstract EN

New mixed ligand complexes of some metal ions Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) were prepared by reacting with mixture of two bidentate ligands [ HL = (P-methyl anilino) –P– chloro phenyl acetonitrile and en = ethylene diamine] in a molar ratio of 1:1:1[ M : HL : en] in ethanol .

The ligand HL was previously prepared by Strecker’s procedure which includes the reaction of p- toluidine with P- chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of KCN in acidic medium.

The structures of new compounds were identified by elemental analyses, atomic absorption and thermal analyses TG/DTG in addition to FTIR and U.V-VIS.

Spectra.

The electrical conductivity measurements of metal complexes were also determined.

From the obtained data the octahedral structure was suggested for all prepared complexes
