A new 1,2-diamine ligand, N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)stilbenediamine (L), has been prepared by reduction of the condensation product of benzaldehyde with 2-aminoethanol with Al amalgam. Mononuclear complexes of the [CuL(H2O)]X-2 type where X = Cl- or AcO- with Cu-II and PdLCl2 with palladium(II) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and i.r., u.v.-vis. or H-1-n.m.r. spectroscopy.
