Synthesis and Structure of Cu(II) and Co(II) Complexes with N-{2-[(E)-(4-Cyclohexylphenyl)Iminomethyl]Phenyl}-4-Methylbenzene-1-Sulfonamide.

New Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with the N-{2-[(E)-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)iminomethyl]phenyl}-4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonamide Schiff base are prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The crystal structure of azomethine and its complexes is studied by XRD. The obtained XRD data show that two N,N-bidentate ligands are chelated to Cu(II) and Co(II) ions in both complexes and form a distorted tetrahedral environment of four nitrogen atoms around the ions.
