Polymetallic complexes: Part V. ONNO tetradentateN,N′-bis(acetoacetanilide)-1, 3-diaminopropane complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

Summary Ten complexes of composition [Co₂L₂X₄] (X=Cl, Br, NO₃ or ClO₄); [Cu₂L₂(NO₃)₄]; [Zn₂L₂X₄ (X=Cl, SCN or ClO₄); [CuCl₂L] and [ZnBr₂L] have been synthesized, where L is the ONNO tetradentate ligand,N,N-bis(acetoacetanilide)-1,3-diaminopropane. The complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, conductance, magnetic susceptibility, molecular weight and i.r., and electronic spectral measurements.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.
