The College of Education for Pure Sciences discusses a master’s thesis on: Preparation and Identification of Diazomethen Organic Ligands.
The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Karbala discussed a master’s thesis entitled (Preparation and Identification of Diazomethen Organic Ligands and Several of Their Chelated Complexes with a Bacterial Study).
By student Tahrir Ghiath Jawad, the thesis was supervised by Assistant Professor Dr. Shatha Abdul Amir Jawad.
The discussion was attended by the President of the University of Karbala, Professor Sabah Wajid Ali, and the Director of Education for Karbala Governorate, Mr. Wameed Khalil Ibrahim.
The current study aimed to prepare Schiff-type polycationic ligands, one of which is derived from terephthaldehyde and the other from cinnamide, and their metal complexes with nickel, copper, zinc, and divalent palladium, in addition to tetravalent platinum. The study also investigated their antibacterial activity against four species of bacteria and one species of fungi. All the prepared compounds were characterized using several spectroscopic methods, such as IR, UV-Vis, NMR, and mass spectrometry.
The study concluded that the prepared polycationic ligands produced numerous coordination complexes upon interaction with the aforementioned transition metal ions, which took on various geometric shapes ranging from square planar to tetrahedral to octahedral.
The study recommended the preparation of other types of Schiff bases using aldehydes and other amines. It also recommended the use of other types of bacteria and studying their biological activity, as well as their potential as antioxidants and anticancer agents.
