Abstract

Author(s): Kalpataru Halder and Utpal Saha

Synthesis of two Schiff base metal complexes of Mn(II) and Co(II). The complexes were analyzed by different Spectrochemical techniques like Vib. FT-IR spectrum - UV-vis spectrum, EPR spectrum. Both th e complexes show better activity towards the oxidation of substrates (cyclohexane and benzyl alcohol). In both the substrates the complex Co (II) shows better activity than Mn(II).
