A monocarboxylic acid ligand, 1-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic acid ligand, 1-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-carboxylic acid were synthsized in a three step process and characterized by 1H NMR. The ligands were then used in metal binding to the following metal ions: Fe+3, Cu+2, Co+2, Pd+2, Ag+, Mn+2, Zn+2, and Ni+2. Once bound, each metal complex was analyzed using mid and far Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). Preliminary solubility and melting point data was also collected. After analysis, preliminary experiments for unbinding the complex were conducted.
