Uysal, Saban2020-03-262020-03-2620120039-79111532-2432https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00397911.2010.521967https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/284522,4,6-Tris(4-hydroxybenzimino)-1,3,5-triazine (II) has been synthesized by the reaction of 1 equiv. melamine (I) and 3 equiv. 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and characterized by means of elemental analysis, H-1 NMR, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). 2,4,6-tris(4-(2-phenyl-2-keto-hydroxyiminoyloxy)benzimino)-1,3,5-triazine L (III) has been synthesized by the reaction of 1 equiv. II and 3 equiv. chloroisonitrozoacetophenone and characterized by means of the same methods. Four novel trinuclear Fe(III) and Cr(III) complexes involving tetradentate Schiff bases N,N'-bis(salicylidene) ethylenediamine-(salenH(2)) or bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine(salophen H-2) with L (III) have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, LC-MS (ESI+), and thermal analyses. The metal ratios of the prepared complexes have been determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The aim of the present study is to synthesize novel tridirectional-trinuclear systems and to present their effects on magnetic behavior of [salen or salophenFe(III)/Cr(III)] capped complexes. The complexes have also been characterized as low-spin distorted octahedral Fe(III) and as distorted octahedral Cr(III) bridged by keton-oxime group.en10.1080/00397911.2010.521967info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKeton-oxime groupsmelaminesalensalophenSchiff basesArticle4218492Q3WOS:000297977000010Q3
