SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON (II) COMPLEX WITH SCHIFF BASE DRIVE FROM SALICYLALDEHYDE AND ANILINE.
Abstract
This project focuses on the synthesis and study of an iron(II) complex using a Schiff base. The Schiff base was prepared by reacting salicylaldehyde with aniline, producing a compound containing a C=N (imine) group. This ligand was then mixed with iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate to form the iron complex.
The reaction was monitored through observable changes such as color change and the formation of a solid product. After the complex was obtained, several tests were conducted to confirm its formation. These included melting point determination, solubility tests, and instrumental analysis such as FTIR spectroscopy. The results indicated that the iron metal successfully coordinated with the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the Schiff base.
Overall, this study demonstrates that Schiff bases can readily form stable complexes with metals such as iron(II). These complexes may have potential applications in areas such as medicine, catalysis, and material development.
