Synthesis of a Novel Oxime Ligand: Characterization and Investigation of Its Complexes with Some Metal Ions

Abstract A novel dioxime, 1,2‐dihydroxyimino‐3‐aza‐6‐morpholine heptane (H2L) was synthesized by the reaction of anti‐monochloroglyoxime and 4‐(3‐aminopropyl)morpholine in absolute THF. Mononuclear complexes with a metal:ligand ratio of 1:2 were prepared with Co(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II). The ligand and complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FT‐IR, UV‐Vis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements. The thermal behavior of the compounds has been studied by thermogravimetry (TGA).
