Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity of copper [II], nickel [II] and cobalt [II] complexes derived from novel hydrazone drivatives of oxamic hydrazide

ABSTRACT

A series of new coordination complexes of Cu[II], Ni[II] and Co[II] with omaxic hydrazide [L[1]], N,N' - [salicylidene]- oxamic hydrazide [L[2]] and N,N' - bis [naphthalidene] - oxamic hydrazide [L[3]] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic moment, IR, UV - Vis spectra nd molar conductance. The thermal behavior of the complexes was investigated by TG A and DTA techniques. The catalytic activity of the complexes to decolorize the Allura-Red [food dye] in presence of H[2]O[2] was studied
