The purpose of my thesis is to prepare four new ligands (L1-L4) that have been used to prepare a series of metal complexes by reacting them with metal ions: M=(Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) Where succinyl chloride was used as a raw material for the preparation of bi-dented ligands (L1-L4) by reacting it with potassium thiocyanate as a first step and then reacting with (2-aminobenzothiazole, Benzylamine, 4-aminoantipyrine, Sulfamethoxazole) respectively as a second step with the use of dry acetone as a solvent, the chemical formula of the four ligands prepared in succession: N1,N4-bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamothioyl)succinamide (L1) N1,N4-bis(benzylcarbamothioyl)succinamide (L2) N1,N4-bis((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) carbamothioyl)succinamide (L3) N1,N4-bis((4-(N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)sulfamoyl) phenyl) carbamo thioyl) succinamide (L4) The new ligands were identified using spectroscopic measurements that included (FT-IR spectra, UV-Vis spectra, and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13CNMR) spectra, mass spectra, elemental analysis (C.H.N.S), and thermal analysis (TGA&DSC), as the results of the measurements proved to be identical to the proposed molecular formula for these ligands. A series of metal complexes for ligands was also prepared, which included seven complexes for each ligand, by adding each of the metal ions to the four ligands prepared in succession to produce the following molecular formulas: - [M2(L)Cl4] , L= L1, L2, L3, L4 (M= Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II)) The prepared complexes were diagnosed by several techniques, including the study of the infrared spectra of the prepared complexes, and when comparing those spectra with the spectra of each of the four ligands prepared in the free form, these gave clear changes, including the emergence of a new band within the fingerprint area. It was not originally present in the spectra of ligands in their free form, and this is due to the occurrence of coordination between the metal ions under study and the donor atoms, which are the oxygen atom of the (C=O) group, and the sulfur atom of the (C=S) group in the ligands. (L1-L4), while other distinct bands were obtained with clear changes in shape, intensity, and location, and this is an indication of the occurrence of a coordination process between the metal ions under study and the four prepared ligands. The percentage of metal ions in the prepared complexes was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, where it was shown from the careful analysis of the elements the great agreement between the percentages calculated theoretically and obtained practically. The magnetic sensitivity results showed that some of the prepared metallic complexes have paramagnetic properties. The measurements of the molar conductivity of the prepared complexes dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 1×10-3 M and at the laboratory temperature showed that they are of a non-electrolytic nature. The prepared complexes were also studied through solubility, melting point, and ultraviolet-visible techniques, and through the data of all the aforementioned techniques, structural formulas were proposed for the prepared complexes, through which it was found that the prepared ligands are bivalve chelating ligands that lead to their participation as ligand into complexes with a tetrahedral geometric shape for all metallic complexes under study. The research included a study evaluating the antioxidant activity of some selected metal complexes by studying the amount of radical scavenging of DPPH* compared to ascorbic acid as an antioxidant reference agent. The zinc complex showed higher activity than the nickel complex compared to standard ascorbic acid. The [Cu2(L1)Cl4] and [Co2(L1)Cl4] complexes were also tested as antibodies to inhibit the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and compared with the normal cell line (HdFn), where the copper complex showed the ability to inhibit the cancerous cell line compared with the cobalt complex. The molecular binding of ligands (L3) and (L4) was also studied, and their possibility of using them as drugs in the treatment of some diseases, where the ligand L3 showed better association with the active site of the enzyme than the ligand L4, and is expected to highest antimicrobial effect. Finally, the biological effect of the prepared ligands and some of their complexes on the growth of two types of bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, was studied using DMSO solvent, where the complexes showed greater activity than the ligands against the selected types of bacteria.
Shade in house gardens is one of the problems that hinder the growth of lawn and its distribution in the soil, where the types of lawns differ in their durability and adaptation to shade. The research aims to know the resistance of some species of lawn plants to shade and to know the appropriate fertilization procedures that can be followed to reduce the negative effects. The study was conducted in the Amiriya district of Baghdad in a house garden. Three varieties of lawn plants Bermuda, Gazon, and Trifoglio were planted. Five fertilization treatments (contained N and P elements) and the control were used. The sunlight density with the temperature of the study field locations were estimated using the AMT-300 and the vegetation coverage perc

This research is devoted to investigating the thermal buckling analysis behaviour of laminated composite plates subjected to uniform and non-uniform temperature fields by applying an analytical model based on a refined plate theory (RPT) with five unknown independent variables. The theory accounts for the parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the plate thickness and satisfies the zero-traction boundary condition on the surface without using shear correction factors; hence a shear correction factor is not required. The governing differential equations and associated boundary conditions are derived by using the virtual work principle and solved via Navier-type analytical procedure to obtain critica

Acrylic polymer/cement nanocomposites in dark and light colors have been developed for coating floors and swimming pools. This work aims to emphasize the effect of cement filling on the mechanical parameters, thermal stability, and wettability of acrylic polymer. The preparation was carried out using the casting method from acrylic polymer coating solution, which was added to cement nanoparticles (65 nm) with weight concentrations of (0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 wt%) to achieve high-quality specifications and good adhesion. Maximum impact strength and Hardness shore A were observed at cement ratios of 2 wt% and 4 wt%, respectively. Changing the filling ratio has a significant effect on the strain of the nanocomposites.

Optoelectronic devices, widely used in high energy and nuclear physics applications, suffer severe radiation damage that leads to degradations in its efficiency. In this paper, the influence of gamma radiation (137Ce source) and beta radiation (90Sr source) on the photoelectric parameters of the Si solar cell, based on the I–V characterization at different irradiation exposer, has been studied. The penetrating radiation produces defects in the base material, may be activated during its lifetime, becoming traps for electron–hole pairs produced optically and, this will, decrease the efficiency of the solar cell. The main objective of the paper is to study and measure changes in the I–V characteristics of solar cells, such as efficienc
