The equilibrium constants and the thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of CoL x (L 1 = 5-OMe-salabza, L 2 = salabza, L 3 = 5-Br-salabza and L 4 = 5-NO 2 -salabza) as acceptors, with phosphines (PBu 3 , PPh 2 Me) as donors in dichloromethane were studied. This was performed by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry titration for 1:1 adduct formation of the selected complexes at various temperatures (T = 283-298 K). The trend of the adduct formation of the Co(II) complexes with a given phosphine donor decreases as CoL 1 > CoL 2 > CoL 3 > CoL 4 . The stability of the resulting adducts with different Co(II)-schiff base complexes found to decrease in the order PBu 3 > PPh 2 Me.
