Coupling reaction of 4-aminoantipyrene with 8-hydroxyqunoline gave the new bidentate azo
ligand 5-(4-antipyrene azo)-8-hydroxyqunoline. Treatment of this ligand with the following
metals ions (MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII) in aqueous ethanol with a 1:2 M:L ratio yielded a
series of neutral complexes of the general formula [M(L)2Cl2]. The prepared complexes were
characterized using flame atomic absorption, FT.IR, UV-Vis spectroscopic as well as magnetic
susceptibility and conductivity measurements. Chloride ion content were also evaluated by
(Mohr Method).
From above data, the proposed molecular structure for these complexes as octahedral
geometry.
