The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Kerbala discussed a master’s thesis entitled (Preparation and Characterization of Azo-Schiff Ligands Derived from Aromatic Amines and Some of their Complexes with a Biological Study). For the student (Zaman Hatem Mohammed Hussein), under the supervision of (Asst. Prof. Dr. Shatha Abdul Amir Jawad). The thesis aimed to prepare two new azo-Schiff ligands derived from ethylene diamine. And to prepare some solid metal complexes for each of the following transition element ions: Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II). In addition to diagnosing the ligands and their complexes using different spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry, and adopting some of these techniques to suggest the geometric shapes of the prepared complexes. The study also concluded that these two ligands are coordinated with metal ions according to the availability of coordination sites, the number of available donor atoms, and the type of metal ion. The relative ease in preparing complexes of these ligands is due to the multiplicity of their chelates and the high stability of their complexes. The study recommended the possibility of using the new ligands (L1 (L2), in the spectral estimation of other ions that were not chosen and studying the resulting differences in coordination behavior. And exploiting the color property in the field of analytical chemistry to benefit from it for detection and estimation or to extract the ions of the elements under study, for their ability to form colored chelate complexes. The student received an excellent grade.
