Abstract
The structure of the complexes [UO2(TPA)(Azole)(H,O)]center dot xH(2)O, TPA = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and azoles = 2-aminobenzothiazole, 2-aminothiazole, 2-amino-4-methylthiazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole has been prepared and characterized. The structure of the complexes has been assigned based on elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectral studies, magnetic measurement, molar conductance, Scanning electron microscope (S.E.M), X-ray powder diffraction techniques investigations and thermogravimetric analysis complete the characterization of the compound. Thermogravimetry(TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been used to study the thermal decomposition of the complexes. The kinetic parameters have been calculated making use of the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger. The scanning electron microscope SEM photographs and particle size calculations from the powder XRD data indicate the average size of the prepared UO2(II) (28-56 nm) supramolecular coordination polymers in the nanoscale range. The biological screening of the compounds was also tested.
