Abstract
Complexes of Cu (II), Ni (II), and Co (II) with hydrazone derivatives of salicylic acid hydrazide and 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic aldehyde (LH) were synthesized and the structure of these compounds studied by means of elemental analysis methods, IR and electronic spectroscopy, magnetochemistry and thermal analysis. It revealed that the complexes are monomeric and have a composition [MLXSoI] where M is a metal ion, L is a ligand, X is an inorganic anion, and Sol is a solvent molecule. LH- in the complexes behaves like a monoanionic tridentate ligand. It found that the resulting complexes exhibit noticeable inhibitory and urease activity.
