SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Ln(III) COMPLEXES WITH N,N′-p-PHENYLENEBIS-(o-VANILLYLIDENEIMINE)

Six new solid complexes of the composition [LnL(NO3)2]NO3 (Ln = La(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Tm(III) and Yb(III), L = N,N′-p-phenylenebis(o-vanillylideneimine)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, DTA-TG, IR spectra, UV spectra and molar conductance. Possible structures of these complexes have been proposed.
