SYNTHESIS AND CHARECTERIZATION OF IRON (II) COMPLEX WITH 1,5-DIPHENYLPENTA-2,4- DIEN-1-ONE

Abstract

Some novel transition metal [Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn (II)] complexes of 1,5-diphenylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one (chalcone) were prepared. The present study is based on the synthesis and characterization of Iron (II) complex with 1,5-diphenylpenta-2,4- dien-1-one. It was found that the chalcone here acts as an olefinic ligand. The spectral and magnetic data revealed the formation of octahedral structure of the complex.
