Multidentate N,O-containing ligands, such as N,N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-ethylenediamine(BHED), N,N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-propylenediamine(BHPD), N,N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-diethylenetriamine(BHDT), N,N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-triethylenetriamine(BHTIF) and N,N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-tetraethylenepentaamine (BHTP) were synthesized by reduction of the imine group of Bis(salicylidene)-ethylendiamine(BSED), Bis (salicylidene)-propylenediamine(BSPD), Bis(salicylidene)-diethylentriamine(BSDT), Bis(salicylidene)-triethylenetetraamine(BSTT) and Bis(salicylidene)-tetraethylenepentaamine(BSTP). Proton dissociation constants of the ligands and stability constants of transition metal(Ⅱ) ion complexes with BHED, BHPD, BHDT, BHTT, and BHTP were determined by potentiometic titration. The sequence of stability constants (logKML) of complex increases as BHED Zn(Ⅱ) which follows the Irving-Williams series.
