Abstract: Binuclear and trinuclear complexes of a Schiff base ligand, N, N'-bis(2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-2-hydroxyphenylmethanediamine(SB), with divalent transition metals Ni, Cu and Zn, have been synthesized in THF.Also, the hydrogenated product of the Schiff base ligand(HSB)and its copper complex liave been prepared in ethanol.These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, molar conductance, and UVand IRspectra.Cu3(SB)2·1.5THFis a trinulear complex with tetrahedral Cu1, Cu2 and square-pyramidal Cu3 coordination configurations.Ni2(SB)Ac2·THFand Zn2(SB)(Ac)2·THFare binuclear complexes, each metal ion is coordinated in a square-pyramidal configuration by 1N, 1O of SB, two carboxylate oxygen of acetate and oxygen of THF.Binuclear Cu2(HSB)(Ac)2 is similar to Zn(Ni)-SBcomplexes, but metal ions are coordinated in a square-planar configuration.The metal ions in these polynuclear complexes are bridged by ligand SBor HSB.
