ThaniAbstractA new Azo compound (C17 H13ClN2O4S) (E)-4-chloro-5-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl)-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (L) was synthesized. The prepared compound was used as a ligand to prepare monomeric transition complexes [M(L)(H2O)2Cl2 via reaction of ligand (L) with hydrate metal salts M(II) where [M = Manganese (II), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper (II)] in a (1:1) ratio. The data were obtained from 13C NMR, UV–VIS and FT-IR studies, elemental microanalysis, TGA, molar conductance, metal content, magnetic moment measurements and thermal analysis confirmed the formation of ligand and their complexes and all the prepared complexes have octahedral geometrical structures. The FTIR spectra revealed that ligand to the metals in a uninegative bidentate, with N donor sites of azo group and the deprotonated naphtholic O. The data of thermal analysis shows that the water molecules (coordinated & hydrated) and anions are removed in a successive one or two steps immediately followed by decomposition of ligand in the consecutive steps. The magnetic moment values at room temperature of synthesized complexes are 5.2, 4.3, 3.2 and 1.3 B.M for complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), respectively, suggesting that the complexes are paramagnetic.
