Synthesis and characterization of Cu(II) and Fe(II) metal complexes of oxazepine derivative via Schiff base [Fe(HPOHBOT)Cl2] and [Cu(HPOHBOT)Cl2]

A Schiff base and its derivative (oxazepine) have been synthesized by the reaction between thio-semicarbazide and aromatic aldehyde 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in ethanol in the presence of acetic acids to yield the Schiff base. This Schiff base on treatment with phthalic anhydride to give seven-member heterocyclic ring called oxazepine. Oxazepineas di-dentate ligand treated with hydrated metal chlorides CuCl2 and FeCl2 in...
