Abstract
A new tetradentate N2O2-type Schiff base,
bis(2-hydroxypropiophenone)-1,2-propanediimine (L), was synthesized by
the reaction of 1,2-propanediamine with 2-hydroxypropiophenone in EtOH.
The Schiff base is able to extract Co-II, Ni-II, Cu-II and Zn-II ions in
aqueous NaNO3 media into a CH2Cl2 organic phase via a cation exchange
mechanism. The observed extraction order was as follows: Cu-II > Ni-II >
Co-II > Zn-II. Reaction of nickel acetate with the Schiff base in EtOH
afforded the neutral complex Ni center dot L. Single crystals of this
complex were obtained from mixed CHCl3-EtOH (3:1) solvent and its
structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for Ni
center dot L center dot CHCl3: triclinic, space group P1, with a =
9.005(2) angstrom, b = 9.625(2) angstrom, c = 14.212(4) angstrom, V =
1136.8( 5) angstrom(3), alpha = 106.06(2)degrees, beta = 106.06(2),
gamma = 105.10(2)degrees, and Z = 2. A near square planar structure is
observed for the studied complex.
