Abstract: The present paper deals with the synthesis and study of transition metal complexes of copper and iron with 2-[N-(4-nitrophenyl) ethanimidoyl] phenol as ligand. The synthesized ligand and metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, FTIR, 1H NMR, UV-Vis, Magnetic spectral studies, Mössbauer and VSM (Vibrating sample magnetometer) measurements. The XRD analysis revealed the crystalline nature of all the compounds. UV-Vis measurements have assigned the square planner and octahedral geometry of Cu (II) and Fe (III) complexes, respectively. VSM measurements revealed the paramagnetic nature of Cu complexes at studied temperature range, while Fe(III) complex followed magnetic phase transition from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic nature at low temperature. Mössbauer study interprets paramagnetic nature of Fe(III) complex at room temperature.


Key words: schiff bases, iron complex, copper complex
