“…Schiff-base molecules, 1,3-bis(salicylideneamino)-2-propanol (H3salpr), and their substituted derivatives, are potential pentadentate ligands with two phenolato-oxygen, two iminonitrogen, and one central alcoholate-oxygen donor atoms by deprotonation with coordination to metal atoms. It is known that these Schiff-base ligands form a mononuclear copper(II) complex as a tetradentate O, N, N, O-chelate, 1 and dinuclear copper(II), 2 nickel(II), 3 manganese(III), 4 and cobalt(III) 5 complexes as tridentate O, N, O-chelates. Previously, we reported on the crystal structures of a monosubstituted Schiffbase ligand, 1,3-bis(5-nitrosalicylideneamino)-2-propanol (H3nsalpr) 6 and a disubstituted Schiff-base ligand, 1,3-bis(5chloro-3-methoxysalicylideneamino)-2-propanol (H3cmsalpr).…”
