Bis(macrocyclic) binuclear metal complexes of the type [M(2)LCl(4)] [w
here M = Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = L(1) - L(6)] h
ave been synthesised by the template condensation reaction of ethylene
diamine or 1, 3-diaminopropane, with formaldehyde, benzidine and acety
lacetone or dibenzoylmethane or phthalaldehyde in 4:4:1:2 molar ratio.
All these complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR
, H-1 NMR, EPR and UV/VIS and conductivity data as well as magnetic su
sceptibility measurements. An octahedral geometry is suggested for all
the complexes.
