Air and moisture stable coordination compounds of some first transition metals such as Cr (III), VO (II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) with newly designed tri- and tetra-dentate imine ligands (HNAP, HNPN and ESPN) were synthesized. Tridentate imine ligands (HNAP, ESAP) were synthesized by reacting 2-hydroxynapthaldehyde (HN) with 2-aminophenol (AP), whereas tetra-dentate imine ligands (HNPN and ESPN) were prepared by reacting 2-hydroxy-1-napthaldehyde ... إقراء المزيد
