N -substituted imines, also known as Schiff bases compound that represent one of the most widely used families of organic compounds. In general, they are easily prepared by the condensation reaction of primary amines with carbonyl compounds. The first reports of this kind of reaction have been published by Hugo Schiff in the 1860s. Thereafter Schiff bases have been intensively used as synthetic intermediates and as ligands for coordinating transition and inner transition metal ions. Schiff bases are generally bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate or polydentate ligands capable of forming very stable complexes with transition metals. Schiff base metal complexes have been widely studied because they have industrial, antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral and herbicidal applications. They serve as models for biologically important species and find applications in biomimetic catalytic reactions. They can act as radiopharmaceuticals for cancer cell targeting. Besides the biological activity, solid-state thermochromism and photochromism are another characteristic of these compounds leading to their application in various areas of materials science such as the control and measurement of radiation intensity, display systems and optical memory devices.The synthesis and structural research of unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands such as H 2 Salabza, H 2 Naphtabza, H 2 Pyrabza,HBacabza, as well as their metal complexes have been the focus of interest in our research group in recent years. In continuation of our work, the unsymmetrical Schiff base H 2 Bzacabzasal ligand and the complexes: [Mn III (Bzacabzasal)(N 3 )(EtOH)] (2), [Mn III (Bzacabzasal)(NCS)(CH 3 OH)] (3), [Fe III (salabza)(Cl)] (4), [Ni II (Bzacabzasal)] (5), [Cu II (Bzacabzasal)] (6) have been synthesized and characterized in this project. In an attempt for the synthesis of Fe(III) complexes from H 2 Bzacabzasal ligand the hydrolysis of Schiff base ligand has occurred and the [Fe III (salabza)(Cl)] has been produced by template reaction.Formation of this complex is dependent on the presence of Cl - counter ion and activation of imine bond by this ion to assist its final hydrolysis. The H 2 Bzacabzasal ligand and its complexes were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR and elemental analyses. The ligand and complexes (2), (3), (4) and (5) were structurally characterized by X-Ray diffraction. The electrochemical properties of the compounds were also studied using cyclic voltammetry.
