Four new azo dyes L1, L2, L3 and L4, were prepared by linking benzaldehyde p-aminobenzoylhydrazone (3), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde p-amino-benzoylhydrazone (4), naphthaldehyde p-aminobenzoylhydrazone (5) and p-methoxybenzaldehyde paminobenzoylhydrazone (6) to resorcinol and through diazo-coupling reactions. Mixed-ligand dinuclear complexes with general stoichiometry [Cu 2 L(amino antipy.) 2 ]Cl 2 (11, 12, 13 and 14) was synthesed from azo ligands and bidentate ligand (4-aminoantipyrine) with copper. The structures of both azo dyes and their complexes were identified by elemental analyses (C.H.N), FTIR, 1 H-NMR, UV-Vis, atomic absorbtion and magnetic susceptibility.
