Abstract: The catalytic activity of Schiff base Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) transition metal
complexes was tested for N-Acylation of heterocycles with acetyl chloride. It is observed that all
the complexes worked as efficient catalysts. The structural type of complexes was studied by an Xray
powder diffractogram (XRD). The mixed ligand complexes with PPh3 ligand show greater
activity as compared to Phen complexes and Schiff base complexes. Especially complex
[Ni(L)(PPh3)2Cl2] efficiently worked as a catalyst because of high thermal stability (TGA-DSC)
and large catalytic surface area (BET).
