Investigation of Dipodal oxy-Schiff base and its salen and salophen Fe(III)/Cr(III)/Mn(III) Schiff bases (N2O2) caped complexes and their magnetic and thermal behaviors

Six new dinuclear Fe(III)/Cr(III)/Mn(III) complexes have been involved tetradentate (N2O2) Schiff bases (salenH2) and (salophenH2) with 2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenylimino-4′-formylphenoxy)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized as high-spin (S = 5/2) distorted trigonal bipyramidal salen/salophenFe(III) bridged, distorted trigonal bipyramidal (S = 3/2) salen/salophenCr(III) and high-spin distorted trigonal bipyramidal (S = 2) salen/salophenMn(III) by OH− groups. The structures of ligand and complexes were identified by using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility, LC–MS, ICP-AES, 1H NMR and FT-IR spectral data.
