Complexation of 1,4-bis (3-(2-pyridyl) pyrazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene (1,4-PPB) with Cu (II), Co (II), and Ni (II):

Abstract

The stability and composition of the complexes of 1,4-bis (3-(2-pyridyl) pyrazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene (1,4-PPB) with Cu (II), Co (II), Ni (II): have been investigated using spectrophotometric method in mixed (1:1) solvent of ethanol and water. Various experimental parameters, which include pH, ionic strength, solvent composition, and time, have been studied. The stoichiometry and formation constant of each complex have been evaluated using Job's method. Spectrophotometric results show the formation of 1:1 complexes with stability order of Co > Ni > Cu. Molar absorptivity values of the complexes have also been determined.
