Abstract
Abstract The tetraketones 1,1′-(1,3-phenylene)-bis-1,3-butanedione (H 2 L a ) and 1,1′-(1,4-phenylene)-bis-1,3-butanedione (H 2 L b have been isolated and characterised. They are potentially tetradentate ligands and H 2 L a could act as binucleating agent. The reaction of the tetraketones with different metal ions has been investigated. Homobinuclear complexes of the type (ML) 2 nS (S = H 2 O, MeOH or pyridine; n = 0, 1, 2, 4) have been prepared and characterised on the basis of analytical, i.r. and visible spectra, and magnetic susceptibility data. Metal complexes of 1,4-bis(acetoacetyl)-piperazine (H 2 L c ) have also been prepared.
