Synthesis and Complexation of a New vic-Dioxime Ligand

Abstract

A new vic-dioxime ligand, N,N′-bis-(8-salicylideneimino-1-naphthyl)-diaminoglyoxime, has been synthesized from anti-dichloroglyoxime and 1-amino-8-salicylideneiminonaphthalene which has been prepared via the condensation product of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and salicylaldehyde. The vic-dioxime ligand forms trinuclear complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Pd(II). The uranyl complex of this ligand has a 2:1 metal-ligand ratio and a binuclear structure with μ-hydroxo bridges.
