Abstract
Three new homo-binuclear Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) complexes ( 2–4), homo-tetranuclear Cu(II) complex ( 5), and hetero-tetranuclear Cu(II)–Ni(II) complex ( 6) of a macroacyclic potentially bis-hexadentate N 2O 4 Schiff base have been synthesized. The imino-alcohol ligand, H 4L was obtained by the condensation of ethanolamine with 2,2′-[2,3-bis(1-formyl-2-naphthyloxymethyl)-but-2-ene-1,4-diyldioxy]bis(naphthalene-1-carbaldehyde). The structures of both the Schiff base and its complexes have been proposed by elemental analyses, spectroscopic data i.e. IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–vis, electrospray ionisation mass spectra, molar conductivities and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The ligand has two similar compartments to bind first primary two metal ions, and acts bi- or tetra-negative, bis-tetradentate forming five membered chelate ring. However, secondary two metal ions (either Cu 2+ or Ni 2+) are ligated with dianionic oxygen atoms of the alcohol groups and are linked to the 1,10-phenanthroline-nitrogen atoms in the tetranuclear complexes ( 5 and 6).
