Chemistry of Oxomolybdenum compounds having Schiff bases

Abstract

Schiff base compounds are excellent ligands due to their rich coordination chemistry with transition metal ions. This paper consists the study of the coordination compounds of dioxomolybdenum(VI) ions with different Schiff bases. These coordination compounds have wide applications in agricultural, industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry. These coordination compounds have been characterized on the basis of various physio-chemical techniques like IR, mass, reflectance, ¹H NMR, X-ray and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Thermal techniques such as TGA and DTA are also used for the study of these compounds.
