Synthesis and physiochemical investigation of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) complexes of 1-2-[(Z)-2-(3-acetyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl-1-ethanone

Two divalent metal complexes of co(ii) and ni(ii) ions with the 1-2-[(z)-2-(3-acetyl-4- hydroxyphenyl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl-1-ethanone were synthesized and investigated by several tools such as; chn elemental analyses,molar conductance measurements,infrared and electronic spectra. the chn elemental analysis data showed the formation of 2:1[m:l] ratio of the formula of [m 2l (cl) 2 (h 2o) 6],where,m represents co(ii) or ni(ii) ions. the molar conductance measurements indicate the existence of non-electrolytic nature. the infrared spectral data displayed the proper behavior of the synthesized 1-2-[(z)-2-(3-acetyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1- diazenyl]phenyl-1- ethanone towards the metal ions. the electronic spectral data showed that both complexes have an octahedral geometry.
