Characterization of complexes formed between 3-indole acetic acid and dipositive metal ions

Abstract

Research shows that carboxylic acids' coordination chemistry has been investigated extensively, as shown
by a survey of the relevant literature. However, the current study was prompted by the dearth of published
information on the coordination chemistry of modified acetic acid moieties. The present study
characterized the base moiety indole acetic acid (IAA) using elemental analysis, UV-Visible, FT-IR, and 1HNMR spectroscopy, and investigated its interaction with cobalt (II), copper (II), and nickel (II) in nonaqueous media such as ethanol. Chemical analysis, electrical conductivity, elemental analysis, and spectral
measurement (UV-visible, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR) were used to characterize the solid-state synthesized metal
complexes of cobalt (II), copper (II), and nickel (II) ions with IAA.The synthesized complexes' magnetic
susceptibility was also tested.
