Synthesis and Spectroscopic Investigations of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Rh(III), Ru(III) and Ir(III) Complexes with 2-Furyl (m-Aminophenylenimine)methyl Ketone

Abstract

A new tridentate ligand, 2-furyl (m-aminophenylenimine)methyl ketone (FAMK), was synthesised from m-phenylenediamine and furanglyoxal. Its metal complexes of the general formula [M(FAMK)X₂H₂O], where M = Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) and [M(FAMK)X₃], where M = Rh(III), Ru(III) and Ir(III) have been prepared. On the basis of chemical analyses, magnetic moment measurements, IR and electronic spectra, an octahedral geometry of the ligand around the metallic ions has been suggested. The fungicidal activities of the ligand and its metal complexes have also been studied.
