NOVEL COMPLEXES OF MANGANESE(III), COBALT(II), COPPER(II), AND ZINC(II) WITH SCHIFF BASE DERIVED FROM 1,2-BIS(p-AMINO-PHENOXY)ETHANE AND SALICYLALDEHYDE

Several new complexes of the Schiff base obtained by the condensation of 1,2-bis(p-aminophenoxy)ethane with salicylaldehyde were synthesized. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, 1H NMR, UV-VIS and IR spectra. The ligand is coordinated to the central metal as a tetradentade ONNO ligand. The four bonding sites are the azomethine nitrogen and the o-OH groups.
