Bis(macrocyclic) binuclear transition metal complexes [M2LCl4] [M = Fe
(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = L-1-L-6, have been synthe
sised by the template condensation reaction of ethylenediamine or 1,3-
diaminopropane with formaldehyde, benzidine and acetylacetone or diben
zoyl methane or phthalaldehyde in 4:4:1:2:2 molar ratio. All prepared
complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, H-1 NMR,
EPR and UV/VIS and conductivity data as well as magnetic susceptibilit
y measurements. An octahedral geometry is suggested for all complexes.
