Post Graduate Department of Chemistry, South Gujarat University, Surat-395 007, India Manuscript received 10 October 1979, accepted 30 December 1979 Reactions of aminoalkanols have been carried out with mixed and bis (Schiff base) complexes of nickel(II). In these reactions both the ligands combine with the aminoalkanol forming tridentate ligand, here -H of the -OH group is not removed. Therefore, both the ligands are retained and they behave as bidentate ligands. From the resulting nickel(II)
