The transition metal-based coordination complex: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and the review of the applications

Abstract

A well-ordered transition metal-based coordination complex was synthesized through wet synthetic technique called solvothermal technique. The complex was characterized based on the fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, powder x-ray diffractometer. The light brown crystalline complex with the molecular mass of 540.26 showed different functional groups with their vibrational band characteristics including the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of the carboxylate group (COO) at the region of 1521 and 1596 cm-1 respectively. The symmetric vibration of C-N, C-OH, C=O, OH occurred in the regions 1309, 1284, 1659, 3229-2671cm-1 respectively. The presence of many hydrogen bond interactions between cationic, anionic moieties in the lattice are for structure stabilization for the optimization of the potential applications. The uncoordinated carboxylic acid groups and other functional groups incorporated into the coordination complex with divers interactions of atoms and their chelation mode, account for their stable and unique architecture that necessitate the use of coordination complexes in different field of science and technology.
