Co (II) Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands: Synthesis and EXAFS Study

Thesynthesis of transition metal Schiff base complexes of Co(II) are prepared by chemical root method. Obtained by the condensation of O-phenylenediamine, salicylaldehyde and isatin / 2-hydroxy- 1 Naphthaldehyde is presented. The complexes were characterized by Co- K- edge EXAFS measurements using the dispersive beam line at 2.5GeV energy of Indus-2 synchrotron radiation source RRCAT Indore. The recorded EXAFS data were analyzed using the computer software Athena for determine the nearest neighboring distances (bond lengths) of these complexes with conventional methods and were compared with Fourier transform (FT) analysis.
