Abstract: Reaction between 3-formylsalicylic acid and 4,5-dichloro-1,2-phenylenediamine yields a hexadentate Schiff base (H4fsacph) with N2O4 donor frame of which the inner compartment is N2O2 and the outer is O2O2 type. Nine heterodinuclear complexes {M–M′}, where M = the outer metal ion, and M′ = the inner metal ion, have been prepared. These complexes are Co(II)–Cr(III), Co(II)–Ni(II), Co(II)–Cu(II), Ni(II)–Cr(III), Ni(II)–Co(II), Ni(II)–Cu(II), Cu(II)–Cr(III), Cu(II)–Co(II), and Cu(II)–Ni(II). The complexes have been characterized with the help of elemental analyses, molecular weights, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibilities, Thermo gravimetric analyses, and spectroscopic (UV–vis, IR) data.
