Abstract: New binucleating Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) and VO(II) complexes of the prepared ligands with N4 donor were synthesized. The ligands are obtained by the condensation of paraphenylenediamine with diacetylmonoxime and benzilmonoxime. The synthesized ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques. The Cu(II), Ni(II) complexes were square planar, VO(II) complex was square pyramidal, whereas Mn(II), Zn(II) complexes were of tedrahedral geometry. …
