Abstract

In this work, three Schiff base ligands which were prepared from a mixture of 2-hydroxy-1-naphtaldehyde with 2-methyl-5-chloroaniline, 2,5-dichloroaniline and 3-chloroaniline, respectively (A1, A2 and A3) and their Ni(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility techniques. In addition, the stoichiometry and the stability constants of the complexes were determined by applying the conventional spectrophotometric of continuous variation method (Job’s method). The stabilities of Ni(II) complexes of the naphtaldimine Schiff bases containing the electron donor or acceptor groups on the 2- and 5- position of phenyl ring were studied as connected with the role of the molecular structure. It was observed that the Ni(II) complex of A1 Schiff base containing an electron donor -CH3 group on the          2- position of phenyl ring was more stable than the other complexes.
