Synthesis and Characterization of Fe(III) Complex with N’- (3-Nitrobenzoyl)Isonicotinohydrazide as an Anti-tuberculosis Candidate

Abstract

Abstract Recently, we have been conducted synthesis of complex compounds of Fe(III)N’-(3- nitrobenzoyl)isonicotinohydrazideusing refluxing N’-(3 -nitrobenzoyl)isonicotinohydrazideas ligands and FeCl3.6H2O as the metal at 75 °C for 6 hours in ethanol. The synthesis results obtained82.45% recovery, and from the purity test are shown with a narrow melting range is 220-222°C. Based on identification with UV-Visible spectrophotometer, infrared spectrometer and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) indicate that the complex compound have λmax of 272.00 nm, giving vibration of Fe-O at 495.1 cm−1 and 599.6 cm−1 with formula complex compounds, namely [Fe(C13H10N4O4(H2O)4)Cl3].10 H2O.
