Preparation and evaluation of mixed-ligand complexes of Cu (II) and Co (II) with amodiaquine hydrochloride and sulphamethazine

Abstract

Cu (ll) and Co (II) complexes of amodiaquine hydrochloride and sulphamethazine (AMOSUF) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FTIR and electronic spectroscopy. The compounds are non-electrolyte in solution and the spectra data of the complexes are consistent with 6-coordinate octahedral complexes. It has been found that the two ligands behave as a bidentate forming 1:1:1 stoichiometry and octahedral geometry.
