Fe (III) and Cu (II) metal complexes of Schiff base derived from ethylenediamine, succinic acid and formaldehyd. The newly synthesized Schiff base complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, Melting point, conductivity, IR and UV-VIS spectral methods. The absorption spectrum of CrL displayed only one low energy transition centered at 488 nm, which was attributed to 2A1g→2Eg transition indicating its square planer geometry.
