Abstract:
A number of new 1:1 complexes of SnMe(2)Cl(2) with unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligand with NNOS coordination sphere have been synthesized and fully characterized by a variety of physico-chemical techniques viz. elemental analysis, molar conductivity, (1)H and (119)Sn NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. IR spectral data show that the fifth coordination position of tin atom is occupied by an oxygen atom of Schiff base ligands. In the light of titled techniques, trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom is proposed for the synthesized complexes. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the complexes against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli have been studied. It was found that they possess significant antibacterial activity. Also, DFT/B3LYP method was used to analyze the electronic structures and study of the geometries. The thermodynamic formation constants of the complexes were determined spectrophotometrically at 25ºC in DMF solvent.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
