Abstract: The direct electrosynthesis of Cu(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) complexes of salicylideneamino acid was accomplished by electrochemical dissolution of sacrificial metallic anodes in an acetonitrile solution of the ligand salicylideneamino acid in notmembrane electrolytic cell. The complexes were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, UV-Vis spectra and thermal analysis. And the electrochemical property of Cu(Ⅱ) complex was examined. The complex formula is ML·nH2O, where L=L-isoleucine Schiff base, M=Cu(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), n=1,1,2. The complexes have a similar spatial structure and the ligand was tricoordinate. The electrochemical efficiency Ef is near 0.5 mol/F[for Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) complexes] and 1.0 mol/F[for Cu(Ⅱ) complex]. In the Cu(Ⅱ) complex, Er1/2 of Cu(Ⅱ)L/Cu(Ⅰ)L couple was -0.79 V(vs. SCE).
