Effect of temperature, medium, metals and ligand structure on the stability of metal complexes of certain schiff base ligands derived frome ninhydrin and isatin with some substituted hyrazines

ABSTRACT

Stability constants of Ni2+, Co2+, Cd2+, and Mn2+ complexes with some Schiff base ligands of isatin-semi and thiosemicarbazones, isatin S-methylhydrazine carbodithioate and ninhydrinsemi and thiosemi- carbazones have been determined potentiometrically in different media containing ratios of aquo-organic solvents [ethanol, acetone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl formamide] at ionic strength u=0.04 mol. dm-3 KCl at different temperatures. The acid dissociation constants of the ligands have been also determined under identical conditions. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the molecular structure of the ligands. The solvent characteristics as well as the nature of central metal ion. It has been found that the stability constant values increase with increasing the organic solvent in the reaction medium and decrease at higher temperatures. Thermodynamic functions [delta G, delta H, delta S] were evaluated and discussed
