Abstract
Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts were treated with 2,4-pentanedione to synthesize copper (II) acetylacetonate and zinc (II) acetylacetonate. These complexes were subsequently cross linked with succinate to produce corresponding bridged dimmers. The UV- visible spectrum of the complex showed absorption maximum at around 660nm, while the infrared spectra exhibited the absorption bands at 1419 cm-1 and 1429 cm-1 for the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, respectively.
Keywords: Acetylacetone, copper, zinc, succinic acid
