New complexes of 4-[(4-fluorophenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid with selected transition metal ions: Synthesis, thermal, and magnetic properties

Resumo

Complexes of 4-[(4-fluorophenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid, HL, with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Nd(III), Gd(III), and Er(III) were synthesized and characterized by various physico-chemical methods: elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG, DTG, DSC, TG/FT-IR, XRF, XRD, and magnetic measurements using the Gouy’s method and a SQUID-VSM magnetometer. The complexes were found to be hydrates (except Er(III) complex) containing 1 to 4 molecules of water. The carboxylate groups acted as bidentate ligands.
