Solid complexes of two derivatives of Schiff bases SAT and SAZ with Pr(III), Nd(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III) and Yb(III) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and TG. The suggested formula of the obtained solid complexes is [MLC12(H2O)n] for SAT and [MLCl(H2O)n] for SAZ where M=trivalent lanthanide ion, L=deprotonated ligand and n=2-3. The TG gives information about the coordinated water molecules, thermal stability and the coordination number of M which was found to be 6-8. A scheme of thermal decomposition of the complexes is also proposed. Comparison of the IR spectra of the ligands with those of their complexes indicate the center of chelation in SAT and SAZ which act as tridentate ligands.
