1.6. Physico-chemical techniques<br />

The characterization <strong>of</strong> organic ligands and their metal complexes takes<br />

advantage <strong>of</strong> several conventional and modem physico-chemical techniques. A brief<br />

account <strong>of</strong> these methods used in the present study is discussed below.<br />

1.6.1. Elemental analyses and conductivity measurements<br />

Elemental analyses <strong>of</strong> all compounds were carried out using an Elementar<br />

Vario EL III CHNS analyzer at SAIF, Kochi, India. The molar conductivities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

metal complexes in organic solutions at room temperature were measured using a<br />

direct reading conductivity meter. TG scans in air atmosphere using a Perkin Elmer,<br />

Diamond TG/DTA at SAIF, Kochi.<br />

1.6.2. NMR spectra<br />

'H NMR, “C NMR and DCTB13S spectra <strong>of</strong> compounds in CDCl3 or<br />

DMSO-d6 were recorded using Bruker AMX 400/500 FT-NMR spectrometer using<br />

TMS as the internal standard at National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India. The 135°<br />

decouple pulse sequence <strong>of</strong> DCTB produces a carbon spectrum with methyl (CH3)<br />

and methyne (CH) carbons are up, but methane (CH2) carbons are down.<br />

1.6.3. Electronic spectra<br />

Electronic spectra <strong>of</strong> organic ligands and their metal complexes (200-900 nm)<br />

were recorded on a Varian, Cary 5000 version 1.09 UV-vis spectrophotometer.<br />
