Cobalt(II) Schiff base complex on Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs)

Cobalt [(OH)2-salophen] (N,N´-bis(4-hydroxysalicylidene)phenylene-1,2-diamine) complex was covalently grafted on the chemical modification of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs); [Co((OH)2-salophen)]@MWNTs]. The cobalt(II) Schiff-base complex covalently anchored on modified MWNTs was characterized by different techniques. The new modified MWNTs have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy.
