2.1 Synthesis of Schiff base
Method preparation for Schiff base ligand is a straight forward synthesis and easily modified using different amines and carbonyl compound. This could be one of the reasons that make Schiff base ligand popular in coordination chemistry research. Synthesis of Schiff base ligand commonly, taking place in alcohol through condensation reaction of amines and carbonyl compound. The acid/base catalysis or heating is employed in the synthesis of Schiff base as their reactions are mostly reversible ((Mishra N. et al, 2013).
Aly M.H. et al, 2015 reported the synthesis of Copper (II) complexes with 1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases. The Schiff base compound prepared from condensation reaction

et al, (2015). The anti-bacterial activities of Schiff base and new compound have been test in-vitro against gram three gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Acinetobacterbaumannii RSKK 02026), three gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 07005, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633) Ӧzdemir Ӧ. et al, (2015 ). They have reported that all compound show mild to moderate activity against gram negative bacteria but more active in gram positive bacteria. Figure 2.3.3 and Figure 2.3.4 are the tabulation data for the screening of anti-bacteria activities of the Schiff base against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Hasi Q. et al, (2016) reported the studies on preparation of Mn(III) and Cu(II) complexes based on bis(N-(3-methoxy-salicylidene)-4-amino-phenyl)ether (H2L). Anti-bacterial activities of metal complex and its ligand are studies against gram-positive Bacillus subtilis and gram-negative Escherichia coli by the filter paper diffusion method. The different metal complex with same ligands is use on similar microorganism. Cu(II) complexes exhibit excellent activity compare to Mn(III) complexes and its ligand.

    The product air-dried for about one week. After this time, the 9-fluorenol was recrystallized by a mixed solvent recrystallization4 using methanol and water over the steam table. The solution was cooled to room temperature and put in an ice-water bath for ten minutes. The crystals were collected and placed in the oven to dry for fifteen minutes. The product was weighed to calculate percent yield and its melting point was determined.5, 6 IR spectra of the starting material and the final product was obtained in order to be compared with those of authentic samples.1 Results…

    5. CONCLUSIONS Dry waste prawn shell converted to chitin and chitosan by using 3.5% of NaOH and 1N HCl with the temperature range from 20 oC-120 oC in the process of deprotinized, demineralized , decolourized and deacytilated .CMC was synthesized by carboxymethylation, as some of the –OH group of chitosan were substituted by –CH2COOH groups. Carboxymethyl chitosan was used as an adsorbent for the removal of copper from the wastewater. The removal efficiencies of copper were affected by different parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, anion and cation.…

    Under these ideal reaction conditions, main application of this process was determined by using different arylhydrazines. As a result, a big quantity of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride complexes that incorporate electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups into the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions produced the required products in perfect yields. The ortho-substituted phenylhydrazine hydrochlorid reacted easily to produce the required product in good yields. The use of 2,4-dichlorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride and 4-bromophenyl-hydrazine Hydrochloride make this reaction High chemoselectivities.…

Since zinc was already known, the density was stated to be 7.13g/mL and the hardness was a 2.5 based on the Mohs Hardness Scale. No magnetic attraction was observed when in contact with a magnet. Zinc had a shiny appearance with a light gray color and the strips of zinc added to solution were approximately 5 cm.…

    Equilibrium between octahedral and tetrahedral coordination complexes of Co2+ in solution is established with constant equilibrium K unless the temperature changes. When the concentrations of reactants and products are changed, the equilibrium position shifts to reduce any disturbance and reestablish the equilibrium. The color change of the mixture of CoCl2, methanol and 2-propanol depending on their concentration is an evidence the shift of equilibrium. By adding more methanol to the equilibrium mixtures causes dark blue 2-propanol solution turns into a lighter blue. As stated previously, equilibrium constant only changes with temperature changes.…

    These substances are common household chemicals which are used to kill bacteria. The two other types of antimicrobials which will be tested are disinfectants and antiseptics. Disinfectants kill nearly all microbials on hard surfaces, with the exception of spores and antiseptics are typically used to inactive or destroy organisms on skin or living tissue (Grainger Incorporation, 2016). Although there is no conclusive research about the effectiveness of different microbial agents, due to the features of bacteria constantly changing, there are theories about how they affect the growth of bacteria. Firstly, bleach is a disinfectant which is effective in killing bacteria due to the active ingredient sodium hypochlorite.…

    Salbutamol Discovery Chiral chemistry was introduced in 1848 by French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur. He discovered this new branch of chemistry after he separated two isomers of ammonium tartate (1). This paved the way for several progressions in the pharmaceutical industry. Although it took approximately a century for scientists to use chiral compounds as effective drugs, they have played a remarkable role in the life of plants and animals (1).…

    Objective The purpose of the experiment is to synthesize multiple cobalt complexes with various ligands and explain the ligand field transitions of these complexes using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The experiment provides insight into specific colors of certain molecular species and respective bonding information. Introduction Transition elements are defined by the IUPAC as atoms that have an incomplete d-subshell, most commonly referring to the d-block.1 When transition metals are not bonded to any other molecule, the d-orbitals are degenerate.2 However, when the metal starts bonding with other ligands, effects on the electrons attached to the metal are induced.…
