3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of elemental analyses of the ligand and its complexes are in good agreement with those required by
the proposed formulae giving in Table 1. The molecular
modeling of Schiff base ligand (using Chem3D ultra 8.0
program) shows that the bond lengths of all bonds in the
left and right hand sides are typical due to the similarity
of moieties on the two sides. Mass spectrum (Figure 1)
of the new Schiff base showed a signal with m/z = 301
which is close to the calculated formula m/z = 294, sup-
porting the structures of the Schiff base. The fragments
observed were in good agreement with the proposed for-
mula (Scheme 1).
