Studies on mixed ligand cobalt(III) complexes
Abstract
A series of cationic mixed ligand cobalt(III) complexes have been synthesized with some selected monobasic tridentate and dibasic tridentate Schiff bases. The mixed ligand complexes have been characterized on the basis of their elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility data, infrared and electronic spectral studies. Magnetic moment values indicate that all the complexes are diamagnetic in nature. On the basis of the diamagnetic nature and observed electronic spectral features, a distorted octahedral structure has been proposed for the complexes.
