Synthesis and spectral studies of new Schiff base pyrimidine-2- ylimino-acetic acid and its complexes with Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II), Cadmium(II), Mercucry(II) and Lead(II) ions

Abstract

Pyrimidine-2-ylamine condens with glyoxylic acid gave pyrimidine-2-
ylimino-acetic acid (L) and characterized by elemental analysis (C.H.N), FT-IR and
1H, 13C-NMR. The ligand (L) reacted with metal ions (II); Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, Hg and Pb
forming complexes. These complexes were identified by metal analysis (A.A.), FT-IR
spectral, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements and UV-visible spectral.
The Co(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) ions in each complexes are tetra coordinated in a
tetrahedral geometry. The Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions are hexa coordinated in a octahedral
geometry.
