Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Novel Transition Metal Complexes with Schiff Base synthesized from 1,4-bis–(o-aminophenoxy)butane and salicyldehyde

Abstract

The new Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes of potentially N₂O₂ Schiff base ligand [N,N'-bis(salicyldehydene)-1,4-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)butane] (H₂L) prepared from 1,4-bis–(o-aminophenoxy)butane and salicyldehyde in DMF. Microanalytical data, elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr , uv-visible and ir-spectra as well as conductance measurements were used to confirm the structures. In all complexes, H₂L behaves as a tetradentate.
