Synthesis and characterization of two novel Schiff base Pd(II) complexes based on 3,5-Diiodo-and 3,5-Dibromosalicylaldehydes

We report on the synthesis and characterization of the two novel Schiff base Pd(II) complexes based on 3,5-diiodo-and 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehydes. Synthesis was made by the condensation method of these aldehydes with p-Anisidine. The structural features of the complexes were comprehensively analyzed by1H nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, optical, vibrational and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The analysis of experimental data supported by theoretical simulations at the density functional theory level confirmed the formation of the Pd(II) complexes, and provided detailed information on the local environment of the palladium atoms. © 2024 NSP Natural Sciences Publishing Cor.
