University of Basrah Examines PhD Dissertation on the Activity of Novel Cyclic Ligands
The College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Basrah examined a PhD dissertation entitled “A Study of the Biological Activity of Novel Heterocyclic Ligands and Their Metal Complexes.”
The dissertation, presented by researcher Sabah Matroud Muzal, aimed to prepare tertiary pyrazolene derivatives via the Claesen-Schmidt condensation reaction using different benzaldehyde and acetophenone substitutes in the presence of sodium hydroxide in ethanol.
The prepared compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry.
Some of the derivatives were used as ligands to prepare coordination complexes of copper(II), and their properties were studied using various spectroscopic and thermal techniques to determine their structure and biological activity.
