Novel Catalysts Derived From Carbazole; Characterization, Spectral, Catalytic Features, Examination of Thermal Behaviour and DNA Binding Studies

By using N-ethylcarbazole and an aromatic primer amine, a schiff base ligand and its three metal complexes have been synthesized through imine condensation reaction. The structures of all the synthesized compounds have been proposed on the basis of various spectral analyses like nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and mass spectroscopy techniques. All the synthesized compounds have been searched for their catalytic activities on the oxidation reactions of cyclohexene and styrene. The results of these experiments revealed quite good activities of the complexes as catalysts. DNA binding studies were also carried out on all the synthesized compounds by using UV-Vis spectroscopic measurements and all the coordiation compounds revealed much better binding konstants than the ligand itself. Finally the thermal features of all the compounds were reported with this paper
