Increased water pollution due to toxic heavy metals is becoming a serious threat that has been faced by the entire world in the last few decades. To overcome this problem a suitable complex ligand was designed for removal of Fe3+, Cd2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ from the effluents. The work incorporated the synthesis of (4Z)-4-((2Z)-2-(2,5-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylimino) ethylidene amino)-1,2- dihydro-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-3-one (Supramolecular Ligand) by the condensation method and confirmed by FTIR and 1HNMR spectroscopic methods. The batch extraction experiments designed to examine the effect of various experimental parameters on the extraction efficiency of heavy metals. The experimental results depicted that up to 30 min time for supramolecular ligand is enough for the significant extraction of all the metals under study. The pH level, slightly acidic to the neutral condition is favourable for maximum extraction of metals. The percent extraction at optimized conditions of time and pH were found to be 98.29, 96.63, 96.95 and 95.64% for Fe3+, Cd2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ respectively. The extraction efficiency was governed by chloroform as a solvent. Simple to synthesize, faster extraction of metals, slightly acidic to neutral pH conditions for extraction are the characteristic features of the compound which governs its applicability.
