Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and structural studies of mixed ligand complexes of Sr(II) and Ba(II) with 2-hydroxybenzophenone and salicylaldehyde, hydroxyaromatic ketones or β-diketones: Crystal structure of 2-HOC6H4C(O)C6H5

Reactions of Sr(II) and Ba(II) chlorides with 2-hydroxybenzophenone and salicylaldehyde, hydroxyaromatic ketones or β-diketones in 1:1:1 molar ratios have resulted in the formation of mixed ligand complexes of the type [MLL′(H2O)2] (M = Sr(II) or Ba(II); HL = 2-hydroxybenzophenone and HL′ = salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxyacetophenone, 2-hydroxypropiophenone, pentane-2,4-dione, 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione or 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione). These complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, TLC, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Mixed ligand complexes [MLL′(H2O)2] (M = Sr(II) or Ba(II); HL = 2−hydroxybenzophenone;HL′ = salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxyacetophenone, 2-hydroxypropiophenone, pentane-2,4-dione,1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione or 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione) have been prepared.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
