Abstract

The metal complexes play an important role in many biological processes. The ligand 1,10-phenanthroline is condensed with metal chlorides to form cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes. The structural characterization was carried out using, elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic studies, infrared and ultraviolet spectra. The geometry of the metal complexes was confirmed by spectral data.
