An investigation of the properties of transition metal complexes of quadridentate oxygen donor ligands

A series of cobaltill) and nickel(ll) complexes lias been prepared from several homologous (ethyl to pentyl) dl^Cii-alkyl disalicylate ligands(LB[2). The compounds prepared were of the type ML(0H2)ia,ML Bri(0H2)m aad ML, where B is pyridine or isoquinoline.
