SYNTHESIS AND SPECTRAL STUDIES OF COBALT(II), NICKEL(II) AND COPPER(II) COMPLEXES OF SOME BIDENTATE ISOXAZOLINES

Metal complexes of the type ML(2).nB [M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II); HL = 3-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)-5-(4-X-phenyl)-2-isoxazoline (X = H, Cl, OMe); n = 0,2; B = H2O, py] have been synthesised and characterized on the basis of analytical data, conductivity, IR, electronic and EPR data and magnetic moment. The IR spectral data indicate bonding through the tertiary nitrogen of the isoxazoline ring and phenolic oxygen.
