Abstract: Enantiomeric four chelated planar square schiff base-Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes were synthesized using ( 1R,trans )-and ( 1S,trans)-N,N'bis(2'-hydroxyphenyl methylene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The chirality could not be shown by usual UV- Vis spectra. The intrinsic chiral difference of the enantiomeric complexes can be displayed by circular dichroism(CD) spectra. The Cotton effect of every polarlight-sensitive absorption of one enantiomer will be the opposite of that of the other enantiomer. It was found that no tetrahedron form exists for Ni2+ complexes, which was determined with UV-Vis spectra and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance(EPR) measures.
