Claims8
A transition metal complex of a compound selected from the group consisting of N,N'-bis (5-dodecylsalicylidene) ethylene diamine, N,N'-bis(5-nonylsalicylidene) ethylene diamine, N,N'-bis (2-hydroxy-5-Nonyl-.alpha.-methylbenzylidene) ethylene diamine, N,N'-bis(dodecylsalicylidene) phenylene diamine, N,N'-bis(5-nonylsalicylidene) phenylene diamine, N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-5-nonyl -.alpha.-methylbenzylidene) phenylene diamine and said transition metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Mn and Fe.
A transition metal complex of a compound selected from the group consisting of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-.alpha.-methylbenzylidene ethylene diamine and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-.alpha.-methylbenzylidene phenylene diamine, in which the transition metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Mn and Fe and the alkyl group is selected from the group consisting of nonyl and dodecyl.
A transition metal complex of N,N'-bis(5-alkyl salicylidene) ethylene diamine in which the transition metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Mn and Fe and the alkyl group is selected from the group consisting of nonyl and dodecyl.
A transition metal complex of N,N'-bis(5-alkyl salicylidene) phenylene diamine in which the transition metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Mn and Fe and the alkyl group is selected from the group consisting of nonyl and dodecyl.
A transition metal complex of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-5-nonyl-.alpha.-methylbenzylidene ethylene diamine.
