a new series of transition metal complexes of co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii), has beensynthesized from the knoevenagel condensate schiff base ligand(l) derived from β-ketoanilideand furfural with o-phenylenediamine and diethylmalonate. structural features were determinedby spectral and analytical techniques. square-planar geometry has been adopted by thecomplexes except cobalt complex which ...
