The Metal Complexes of Natural Compounds, Usnic Acid and Naringenin Immobilized on Mesoporous Silica: Solid Phase Extraction and Oxidative Catalytic Properties

Ali ASLAN

The novel semi-natural Schiff bases were synthesized with the reaction of the natural compounds usnic acid and naringenin extracted and purified in natural sources and chemically modified silica gel. Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes of the ligands were synthesized and the silica-supported ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by FT-IR, TG/DTA, SEM, EDX, ICP-OES and elemental analyses techniques. The solid-phase extraction behaviours of the novel silica-supported ligands were examined. It was found that the hybrid materials showed the very efficient adsorption properti ...Более
