Abstract

The Schiff-base 2-pyrrole-[N-(o-hydroxyphenyl)aldimine] has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde and o-aminophenol. Its reactions with several metal ions have been investigated. The Schiff-base behaved either as a bidentate monoaionic ligand with the pyrrole nitrogen intact and uninvolved in bonding to the metal, or as a tridentate dianion using the pyrrolate deprotonated nitrogen, the azomethine nitrogen and the phenolate oxygen in bonding. Thus complexes of Zn2+, Pb2+, Pd2+ and Pt2+ were synthesized with the ligand as a tridentate dianion; and complexes of Cu2+, Fe3+ and Co3+ were obtained with the Schiff-base behaving as a bidentate monoanion.
