Synthesis and Characterization of Cr(III) & Fe(II) Bis(2-Methoxybenzylidene)Biphenyl-4,4'-Diamine Complexes

Bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine Schiff base was prepared by the reaction of benzidine and O-methoxy benzaldehyde 1:2 reaction. Two complexes of this ligand with Cr(III) and Fe(II) were prepared. All prepared compounds were analysed using elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy. The formation of proposed structures, including the free ligand and complexes were confirmed.
