Discussion of a Master’s Thesis

The Department of Chemistry at the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Kerbala discussed a master’s thesis entitled (Spectral Estimation of Some Transitional Elements Using a New Azo-azomethene Detector Derived from 4-Aminoantipyrene) by the student (Dhafaf Alawi Awad), under the supervision of (Prof. Dr. Munir Abdul-Ali Al-Dumaidi) as the first supervisor, and (Prof. Dr. Saleh Mahdi Kazim) as the second supervisor.
The thesis aimed to prepare a new reagent from Schiff azo compounds using the traditional nitrogen method and study its coordination sites with the metal ions under study and know their chelating behavior using spectral techniques, and study the spectral estimation of these ions by determining the best conditions for the formation of complexes, including the effect of the acid function, reagent concentration, and the effect of time and temperature.
The study recommended studying the possibility of using the detector to estimate other ions in different media due to their formation of colored complexes with the detector under study, which can be used in spectral estimation in the fields of medicine and drugs. The possibility of using the prepared detector under study in studying the extraction of some transitional elements due to its ability to coordinate with many of these ions. The student received an excellent grade.
