Abstract

In this study, firstly, two single substitute novel ligands have been synthesized by reacting melamine with 3,4,-dihydroxybenzaldeyhde or 4-carboxybenzaldehyde. Then, eight new mono nuclear single substitute [Salen/Salophen Fe(III) and Cr(III)] complexes have been synthesized by reacting the ligands [2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzimino)-4,6-diamimo-1,3,5-triazine and 2-(4-carboxybenzimino)-4,6-diamimo-1,3,5-triazine)] with tetradentate Schiff bases N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine-(salenH2) or bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine-(salophen H2). And then, all ligands and complexes have been characterized by means of elementel analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR, LC–MS, thermal analyses and magnetic suscebtibility measurements. Finally, metal ratios of the prepared complexes were determined using AAS. The complexes have also been characterized as disorted octahedral low-spin Fe(III) and Cr(III) bridged by catechol and COO groups.
