Abstract
Six macrocyclic complexes, were synthesized by reaction of 1,4-bis(2-carboxyaldehyde phenoxy)butane and various amines and their copper(II) perchlorate complexes were synthesized by template effect reaction of 1,4-bis(2-carboxyaldehyde phenoxy)butane, Cu(ClO4)2 · 6H2O and amines. The metal-to-ligand ratios were found to be 1 : 1. Cu(II) metal complexes are 1 : 2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities (ΛM) in DMF (dimethyl formamide) at 10−3 M. The Cu(II) complexes are proposed to be square planar based on elemental analysis, FT–IR, UV–Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and mass spectra.
