The tetradentate Schiff base ligands (L1–L4), were synthesized by reaction between 2-amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde
and aliphatic diamines. Then, nickel and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of these ligands
were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, Mass, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetry.
The kinetic parameters of oxovanadium(IV) complexes were calculated from thermal studies.
According to the results of thermogravimetric data, the thermal stability of oxovanadium(IV) complexes
is as follow: VOL2?ClO4?2 > VOL4?ClO4?2 > VOL3?ClO4?2 > VOL1?ClO4?2
