Abstract:The >C=N-unit is an important functional group in organic and bioorganic chemistry. In this study, the possibility of synthesizing unsymmetrical azo-methine Schiff bases was investigated. Successful isolation of tetra-dentate Schiff bases has been accomplished using phenylenediamine derivatives in conjunction with 1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone, and salicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde. Nickel(II) and copper(II) salts were found to react with these compounds to produce neutral complexes of the general formul… Show more
