Synt hesis and cacterization of Schiff base metal complexes derived from Napthofuran-2-Carbohydrazide and 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde

The direct reaction of 4-(methylthio) benzaldehyde with Napthofuran-2-carbohydrazide generated a new heterocyclic Schiff base ligand and its transition metal (II) complexes with the formula ML2Cl2, where M= Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Hg. Analytical, Infrared, 1HNMR, Mass, and UV-Visible spectral information have been used to perform a basic structural interpretation of the ligand and metal complexes.
