Abstract: Analogous ligands derived from salicylaldehyde, 2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)ethyl]phenol (H2L1) and 2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenol (H2L2), have been synthetized and used to prepare three complexes in which the ligands acts in different fashions. Complexes formulated as [Co2(L1)2(OCH2CH2NH2)(SCN)].(CH3CH2OH) (1) , {[Mn(HL2)2].Cl.(H2O)}n (2), and {[Cu(L2)(NO3)]}n (3) were synthesized by mixing an equimolar amount of an ethanol solution containing Co(NO3)2.6H2O, MnCl2.4H2O or Cu(NO3)2.2H2O and an ethanol solution containing the appropriate ligand H2L1 or H2L2. In the dinuclear cobalt(III) complex 1, each of the two metal ions is coordinated by one monodeprotonated ligand molecule through three set donors.......
