Abstract
n-Butyraldoxime complexes of copper (II), nickel (II), cobalt (II), and manganese (II) were prepared by a direct reaction between the metal halides and the oxime. From their chemical and physical properties, a octahedral structure is deduced. Further, the infrared absorption specta suggest for the complexes that the oxime is co-ordinated through its oxygen atom in the simple cyclic structure of the oxime to the metal.
