Synthesis and Characterization of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Vanadium Using Organic Ligands

Abstract

The thesis entitled Synthesis and Characterization of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Vanadium Using Organic Ligands has been divided into five chapters. First chapter deals with general introduction and literature survey pertaining to coordination chemistry, vanadium metal and mixed ligand complexes of vanadium. Second chapter deals with synthesis of ligands and mixed ligand complexes using organic ligands. Third chapter deals with instrumentation and physical techniques used for characterization. Fourth chapter deals results and discussion. Fifth and last chapter deals with biological activity of synthesized mixed ligand complexes. newlineThe thesis contains five chapters newline(1) Chapter 1: Introduction and Review of literature. newline(2) Chapter 2: Synthesis of ligands and mixed ligand complexes of vanadium metal. newline(3) Chapter 3: Experimental techniques. newline(4) Chapter 4: Result and Discussion. newline(5) Chapter 5: Biological Activity. newlineChapter 1: Introduction and Review of literature. newlineA. Introduction to coordination chemistry newlineCoordination chemistry deals with studies on synthesis, characterization, biological activities and applications of metal complexes. It is one of the interesting and most active research areas in chemistry. Researchers working in this area aim to develop novel metal complexes with varying properties and to find out their applications in various fields of life. Moreover the research done is useful for adding valuable information to basic knowledge of coordination chemistry and thus is available as recent references for new comers in the field. newlineThe credit of starting research in the area of coordination chemistry can be given to Alfred Werner. Alfred Werner was awarded Nobel Prize in 1913 for his pioneering contribution in coordination chemistry and is very rightly called as Father of Coordination Chemistry . Since then the area has been developed a lot. Many new researchers are working meticulously in this area and have produced many new complexes with variety of applications. In spite of huge amount of development in
