Synthesis and Characterisation of Chiral Cobalt Complexes

Sunny S. Tarve, Raju M. Patil

Abstract :

<p>The reactions of Cobalt(II) sulphateheptahydrate with two different ligands such as sodium salt of p-methylisonitrosoacetophenone (MINAP) and various chiral amino acids (aa) formed a series of Ternary Chiral Mixed Ligand (CML) Co(II) metal complexes with general molecular formula [Co(MINAP)(aa).2H2O]. All the complexes have been characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, specific optical rotation, electronic absorption, infrared spectral and thermal studies. On the basis of results the bonding and structure of the complexes discussed in details.</p>
