Master’s Degree Awarded to Ms. Majedah Mohammed in Chemistry

Ms. Majedah Mohammed Mohammed Al-Bassir was awarded a Master’s degree in the major of inorganic chemistry with an average of (Excellent) and a grade of (96%) for her thesis titled “Preparation and Characterization of Complexes of Some Nitrogenous Compounds as Mixed Ligands with Different Metal Ions and Their Biological Activity,” which was submitted to the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science – Sana’a University. The MA defense was held on Thursday, Dhul-Qi’dah 17, 1446 Hijri, corresponding to May 15, 2025.

The MA Viva-voce Committee, which was formed based on a resolution issued by the Post-Graduate Studies and Scientific Research Council, consisted of the following:

 The thesis primarily aimed to:

• Prepare chemical complexes resulting from the reaction of some nitrogenous compounds with different metal ions.
• Characterize these complexes using various analytical techniques to understand their structure and properties.
• Study the effect of mixed ligands on the stability and formation of the resulting complexes.
• Evaluate the biological activity of these complexes for potential medical or industrial applications.

The research yielded several significant findings, including:

• The successful preparation of a number of novel complexes using nitrogenous compounds as mixed ligands.
• Spectral and physical analyses demonstrated that the prepared complexes possess stable and distinct structures.
• Some of these complexes exhibited clear biological activity against specific types of bacteria or fungi.
• The results indicate the potential use of these complexes in developing effective pharmaceutical compounds or antimicrobial agents.

The researcher provided several recommendations in her thesis, including:

• Conducting future studies on other nitrogenous ligands and metal ions to obtain new and effective complexes, utilizing advanced analytical techniques for precise structural determination.
• Expanding biological activity tests to include various types of microorganisms and exploring the possibility of applying these complexes in medical or agricultural fields due to their biological effectiveness.

The thesis was examined and recommended by the Viva-Voce Committee for acceptance and approval. The defense was attended by a number of academics, researchers, students, and interested individuals, in addition to the candidate’s colleagues and family members.
