SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PYRIDYL BASED SCHIFF

Overview
Cite Work

Metal complexes are scientifically known to be active and effective as antibacterial, antivirus and some antifungal etc. This project work is targeted at preparing complex from transition metals say; cobalt, cupper, zinc and nickel and organic ligands synthesised from pyridyl based schiff bases, one from 2-aminopyridine and benzaldehyde and second from 2-aminopyridine and 2,4-dihydroxylbenzaldehyde. The analysis and completion is based on thin-layer chromatography, column-chromatography and IR-spectral analysis.
