Mixed‐Ligand Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) Complexes of an o ‐Vanillin‐Based Schiff Base and 1,10‐Phenanthroline: Spectroscopic Characterization, Thermal Behavior, Photoluminescence, and Antimicrobial Activity
A new series of mixed‐ligand Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes incorporating the bidentate Schiff base ( E )‐2‐methoxy‐6‐((phenylimino)methyl)phenol (HL) and 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) as a co‐ligand has been synthesised and characterized. HL was prepared by condensation of 2‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzaldehyde with...
