Complexes of VO(II) with salicylaldimines obtained from derivatives of salicylaldehyde and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4 aminophenol have been synthesized. The spectroscopic (IR, ESR, and optical) and magnetic properties have been studied. The IR spectra of the complexes display stretching vibrations of OH, C=N, and V=O groups at 3625-3640, 1608-1615, and 985-990 cm/sup -1/, respectively. The electronic spectra in THF, in contrast to the case of CHCl/sub 3/, do not show a band with a frequency corresponding to 590 nm, and they show a shift to longer wavelengths at 930 nm, apparently due to the interaction of the complexes with THF molecules. The parameters of the spin Hamiltonian have been determined from the ESR spectra. The values found for the magnetic moments (1.66-1.83 Bohr magnetons) indicate that weak ferromagnetism is observed in the polycrystalline stage in cases of disubstituted compounds. When the complexes are oxidized with PbO/sub 2/ in solutions in toluene and CHCl/sub 3/, a decrease in the intensity of the ESR signal of the vanadyl ions and the formation of free phenoxyl radicals are observed.
