ABSTRACT
The coordination behaviour of the triazine ligand with NNO donation sites, derived from 3-benzyl-7-hydrazinyl-4H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3c][1,2,4]triazin-4-one (HL), towards some metal ions namely Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) are reported. The metal complexes are characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, (1)H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance and thermal analyses (TG, DTG and DTA). The ionization constants of the organic ligand under investigation as well as the stability constants of its metal chelates are calculated spectrophotometrically at 25°C. The chelates are found to have octahedral geometrical structures. The ligand (HL) and its binary chelates are subjected to thermal analyses (TG, DTG and DTA) and the different activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated from their corresponding DTG curves to throw more light on the nature of changes accompanying the thermal decomposition process of these compounds. The synthesized ligand and its metal complexes were found to have biological activity against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.) (Orthoptera - Acrididae) and its adult longevities.
