“…We have focused our efforts on synthesis and investigation of 3d coordination compounds based on mixed phthalate ligand and aromatic amines such as pyridine, imidazole and their derivatives and several interesting cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) [1,3,8,12,14,15] À1 ): 3209s,br, 1607vs, 1586sh, 1563vs, 1488s, 1449s, 1404vs, 1219m, 1153m, 1084w, 1072s, 1043s, 1015m, 951m, 932m, 887m, 812s, 761s, 698s, 656s, 636s, 592m, 577m. Single crystals suitable for diffraction studies were obtained from the mother liquid.…”
