We synthesized a series of binuclear pentadentate Schiff base complexes such as Co(¥±)2(BSPP)(H2O)2, Co(¥±)2(BSPD)(H2O)2, Mn(¥±)2(BSPP)(H2O)2 and Mn(¥±)2(BSPD)(H2O)2, mononuclear pentadentate Schiff base complexes such as Co(¥±)(BSP)(H2O) and Mn(¥±)(BSP)(H2O). The composition of these complexes identified by IR, UV-visible spectrum, T.G.A., DSC, and elemental analysis. The electrochemical redox processes have been examined by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse polarography with glassy carbon electrode in 0.1M TEAP-Py(-DMSO and -DMF) as a supporting electrolyte solution. As a result of electrochemical measurements, the reduction processes for pentadentate binuclear Schiff base cobalt(¥±) and manganese(¥±) complexes occurred to four steps in M(¥²)2 / M(¥±)2 and M(¥±)2 / M(¥°)2 (M; Co, Mn) two processes through each two reduction steps with one electron, by contrast, the mononuclear pentadentate Schiff base cobalt(¥±) and manganese(¥±) complexes occurred to two steps in M(¥²) / M(¥±) and M(¥±) / M(¥°) (M; Co, Mn) two processes with one electron reduction steps.
