Abstract
Two new series of Fe(III) Schiff-base complexes prepd. from formylhydroxyacetophenone-alkylenediamine Schiff bases I and II (n = 2, 3 for both), were prepd. and characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, IR, electronic, ESR and Mossbauer spectra. The mononuclear and multinuclear Fe(III) complexes possess octahedral, pseudo-octahedral or pseudo-tetrahedral geometries around Fe(III), depending on the nature of the Schiff-base ligand used.

Abstract
Heterobinuclear metal chelates of Mn2+, Co2+ or Cu2+ and some transition metal ions with o-cresolphthalein complexone were prepd. and characterized. Elemental analyses are in agreement with proposed formulas. Thermal analyses (TGA and DTA) were used to det. the degrdn. products; some thermodn. parameters were calcd. IR and UV-visible spectra identified the mode of bonding between the metal ions and the ligand as well as its geometry. Magnetic moment detn. and ESR spectra of the heterobinuclear complex revealed some antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal ions, which depends mainly on the two metal ions forming the chelate. Electrochem. studies of [DC-polarog. and cyclic voltammetry (CV)] confirmed the existence and the nature of the metal ions in the chelate.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to prep. the solid Cu-lignocaine complex and to characterize it by elemental anal., TGA, and conductance measurements. The bonding between Cu(II) and lignocaine was confirmed by IR and 1H-NMR spectra. Electronic and EPR spectral studies were conducted to explain the geometry of lignocaine mols. around the Cu(II) ion. An indirect method for the detn. of lignocaine in pharmaceutical prepns. by at. absorption spectroscopy is also explained.
10- Mass spectral fragmentation studies of some high-valent dimeric manganese complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands. Abu-El-Wafa, S. M.; Abdel-Megeed, M. F.; Issa, R. M. Fac. Educ., Ain Shams Univ.,
Abstract
Mass spectra of some high valent Mn complexes with tetradentate Schiff base as ligand [Mn(SB)O2] and [Mn2(SB)2O(OH)] were measured. The mechanisms leading to different fragment ions were suggested. The fragmentation pattern of dimeric MnIV/MnIV species were completely different from those of mixed MnIII/MnIV species. One of the fragmentation modes of MnIV/MnIV is characterized by loss of metal, accomplished with H transfer to give a typical fragmentation pattern of the corresponding ligand. The salen and naphen complexes were also characterized by homolytic cleavage of the central C-C bond, while the saltm and naphtm complexes are distinguished by unusual fragmentation due to the loss of stable allyl radical.

Abstract
Two new series of copper(II) complexes were prepd. from the reaction of the salts (L) g-chloroacetonyltriphenylphosphonium chloride, p-bromophenacyltriphenylphosphonium bromide and p-nitrophenacyltriphenylphosphonium bromide with CuBr2. The complexes have the general formulae [Cu(HL)2Br2] and [CuLBr]2 and were characterized by elemental anal. and conductance measurements. The IR spectra of the complexes showed that the C:O group coordinates to the central copper(II) ion in the first type, whereas in the second type the enolic OH group is deprotonated on complex formation. Electronic and ESR spectra of the complexes were used to study the spatial distribution of the ligands around the central copper(II) ion.

The mechanisms leading to important fragment ions are suggested. The fragmentation patterns of I were completely different from those of II. One of the fragmentation modes of I is characterized by loss of metal, accomplished with hydrogen transfer to give a fragmentation patterns typical of the corresponding ligand. Ethyenediamine Schiff base complexes are also characterized by homolytic cleavage of the central C-C bond, while the propanediamine Schiff base complexes are distinguished by unusual fragmentation due to the loss of a stable allyl radical.

The complexes are characterized by elemental anal., IR, electronic spectra and conductance measurements. TGA of the complexes indicated that the SO2 mol. is thermally stable <150-160°C after which it is evolved and the complex decomps. The effective magnetic moments at room temp. of the complexes is 5.71-5.40 mB/Mn atom. ESR spectra of the complexes in CHCl3 soln. at 300 and 93 K suggest octahedral geometry around the Mn(II) ion.

Indirect determination of neomycin by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Abu-El-Wafa, Samy M.; El-Ries, Mohamed A.; Abou-Attia, Fikria M.; Issa, Raafat M. Fac. Educ., Ain Shams Univ.,
Abstract
A new series of polymeric [M(Neom)H2Ox]n complexes were prepd., where M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II) ions, Neom = neomycin and x = 2-4. The complexes were characterized by elemental anal., conductance and magnetic moment measurements. IR spectra indicated that the bonding between neomycin and transition metal ions takes place through M-O bonds. Electronic and EPR spectra of the solid complexes are measured in order to gain information about their structures and geometry. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the complexes are amorphous. The biol. activity of the complexes formed was tested towards eight microorganism and compared with the activity of neomycin itself. A new method is described for the indirect estn. of neomycin by at. absorption spectroscopy (AAS) using carbonate as an auxiliary ligand. The results obtained either for the pure form or in pharmaceutical formulations are accurate and precise.

Abstract
Normal sulfites of metals were prepd. by the reaction of metal salts with Na2S2O5, in aq. acid solns., to prevent the formation of basic sulfites. Visible spectra and magnetic moments show that the transition metal sulfites have distorted octahedral structures. The IR spectra showed that the sulfite groups act as O-bonded bridging ligands linking the metal atoms in polymeric chains.
