A Zinc complex [ZnCl2(HL)2] with Schiff base HL derived from rimantadine and salicylaldehyde was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, 1H NMR spectra,molar conductance, ultraviolet and visible spectra, thermal analysis. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complex, C38H50Cl2N2O2Zn, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Aba2 with a=1.381 7(3), b=2.275 0(5), c=1.145 0(2) nm, V=3.599(1) nm3, Z=4, Mr=653.79, F(000)=1 496, Dc=1.301 kg·m-3, μ(Mo Kα)=0.866 mm-1. The kinetic parameters were obtained from the analysis of TG curve by integral methods. The functions of thermal decomposition reaction mechanism are: F(α)=[1-(1-α)1/3]2, and kinetic compensation effect equation lnA=0.019 1E-0.142 7. CCDC: 253297.
The new solid complexes [LnL2(NO3)2]NO3 (L=C18H23NO2, N-2-hydroxy-3-me thoxy-benzaldehyde-1-aminoadamanantane, Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, H o, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y) of rare earth nitrates with Schiff base derived from o-van illin and adamantaneamine have been synthesized in non-aqueous system and charac terized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, infrared spectra, 1H NMR spect ra, thermal analysis. The coordination modes of the bonding in these complexes w ere discussed and the possible structure were proposed. Every central Ln(III) io n in the complexes coordinates with both two Schiff base ligands via four oxygen atoms of the phenol hydroxy groups and methoxy groups and two nitrates via thei r four oxygen atoms. Their coordination numbers are eight. In addition, the anti bacterial activity of the Schiff base ligand and the complexes were studied.
