| Abstract: The new solid complexes [LnL2(NO3)2]NO3 (L=C18H23NO2, N-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde-1-aminoadamanantane, Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y) of rare earth nitrates with Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and adamantaneamine have been synthesized in non-aqueous system and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, infrared spectra, 1H NMR spectra, thermal analysis. The coordination modes of the bonding in these complexes were discussed and the possible structure were proposed. Every central Ln(Ⅲ) ion in the complexes coordinates with both two Schiff base ligands via four oxygen atoms of the phenol hydroxy groups and methoxy groups and two nitrates via their four oxygen atoms. Their coordination numbers are eight. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the Schiff base ligand and the complexes were studied. |
