(E)-4-Bromo-2-((2-bromoethylimino)-methyl)phenol VI was obtained by reaction of 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-bromoethanamine hydrochloride. Melamine cored tripodal Schiff base VII (H(3)L) was synthesized by reacting III with VI. Tripodal metal complexes were obtained by reacting H(3)L and transition metal salts. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, (1)H NMR and LC-MS spectroscopy, thermal analyses and magnetic measurements. Finally, metal ratios of the complexes were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The complexes are square-planar low-spin (S = 1/2) Co(II), diamagnetic square-planar Ni(II), square-planar (S = 1/2) Cu(II) and diamagnetic tetrahedral Zn(II).en10.1007/s10904-011-9459-9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHeterocyclic compoundsSchiff basesMetal complexesMelamineMagnetic susceptibilityArticle212291296Q2WOS:000290801600011Q2
