Spectral and Electrochemical Studies of Manganese(III) and Iron(III) Complexes with Substituted 3,4-bis{((2-hydroxyphenyl)methylene)amino} benzene

A series of R-Salophen mangonese(III) and iron(III) complexes, where R = OH, OCH3 or COOH, and Salophen is bis(salicylaldehyde)-N,N'-o-phenylendiimine, have been obtained. The synthesis and characterization by elemental analyses, H-I NMR, UV-VIS, FT IR, ESMS spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry of the ligands and some complexes of Mn(III) and Fe(III) with R-Salophen are presented in this study.
