Abstract:
Aqua complex ions of metals must have existed since the appearance of
water on the earth, and the subsequent appearance of life depended on, and may
even have resulted from the interaction of metal ions with organic molecules.
Studies on the coordinating ability of metal ions with other molecules and anions
culminated in the theories of/\lfred Werner. Thereon the progress in the studies of
metal complex chemistry was rapid. Many factors, like the utility and economic
importance of metal chemistry, the intrinsic interest _in many of the compounds and
the intellectual challenge of the structural problems to be solved, have contributed
to this rapid progress. X—ray diffraction studies further accelerated the progress.
The work cited in this thesis was carried out by the author in the
Department of Applied Chemistry during 2001-2004. The primary aim of these
investigations was to synthesise and characterize some transition metal complexes
of 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones and to study the
antimicrobial activities of the ligands and their metal complexes. The work is
divided into eight chapters

Abstract:
Optical absorption and emission spectral studies of free and metal naphthalocyanine doped borate glass matrix are reported for the first time. Absorption spectra recorded in the UV- VIS-NIR region show the characteristic absorption bands, namely, the B-band and Q-band of the naphthalocyanine (Nc) molecule. Some of the important spectral parameters, namely, the optical absorption coefficient (α), molar extinction coefficient (ε) and absorption cross section (σa) of the principal absorption transitions are determined. Optical band gap (Eg) of the materials evaluated from the functional dependence of absorption coefficient on photon energy lies in the range 1.6 eV≤Eg≤2.1 eV. All fluorescence spectra except that of EuNc consist of an intense band in the 765 nm region corresponding to the excitation of Q-band. In EuNc the maximum fluorescence intensity band is observed at 824 nm. The intensity of the principal fluorescence band is maximum in ZnNc, whereas it is minimum in H2Nc. Radiative parameters of the principal fluorescence transitions corresponding to the Q-band excitation are also reported for the naphthalocyanine and phthalocyanine based matrices.

Abstract:
FTIR and Raman spectra of FeClMoO4 single crystal and polycrystalline Na2MoO4, Na2MoO4·2H2O and
Na2MoO4·2D2O are recorded and analysed. The band positions for different modes suggest that MoO4 tetrahedron
is more distorted in FeClMoO4. The larger splitting observed for the bending modes and partial retention of
degeneracy of the asymmetric stretching mode indicate that angular distortion is greater than liner distortion in
MoO4 2 ion in FeClMoO4 confirming x-ray data. The non-appearance of the n1 and n2 modes in the IR and partial
retention of the degeneracies of various modes show that MoO4 2 ion retains Td symmetry in Na2MoO4. Wavenumber
values of the n1 mode indicate that the distortion of MoO4 tetrahedra in the four crystals are in the order
FeClMoO4\ Na2MoO4·2H2O\Na2MoO4·2D2O\Na2MoO4. The water bands suggest the presence of two
crystallographically distinct water molecules in Na2MoO4·2H2O. They form strong hydrogen bonds
