Abstract
Abstract A Schiff base, 2-amino-benzoic acid [1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propylidene]-hydrazide (H 2 abph) and its mononuclear complex [Mn(Habph) 2 ] and one-dimensional coordination polymers [Cu(abph)·DMSO] n and [Zn 2 (abph) 2 ·2DMSO] n have been synthesised and characterised by various physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of the compounds are also determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The reaction of ligand with Cu(II) and Zn(II) in methanol gives polymeric complex, while the similar reaction with Mn(II) results in the formation of a cyclised quinazoline derivative 2,2-dimethyl-3-(1-phenyl-propylideneamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one. However, the reaction of ligand with Mn(II) in ethanol gives a mononuclear Mn(II) complex. In Mn(II) complex, the ligand coordinates through azomethine-N, carbonyl-O and phenolate-O forming a 6-coordinate distorted octahedral geometry around metal ion. In Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, the ligand bonds through azomethine-N, carbonylate-O and phenolate-O. The Cu(II) complex forms a distorted square planar geometry, which polymerises via anthranilate-NH 2 group of second unit. The Zn(II) complex exhibits a phenolate-O bridged dimer, which polymerises through anthranilate-NH 2 group forming a 5-coordinate distorted square pyramid geometry around each metal ion. The synthesised compounds show an appreciable corrosion inhibition property for mild steel in 1 M HCl medium which varies in the order: H 2 abph
