The new copper and cobalt complexes with shiff bases of  α-aminoacids and their reduced analogous were obtained. The  composition and structure of these compounds by methods of elemental analysis, IR-, electronic spectrophotometry, magnetochemystry, termogravimetry was studied. Has been shown that complexes of  copper with shiff bases are square pyramidal and with reduced ligands  there are tetrahedric. Cobalt forms threenuclear mixed valence complexes Co(III)– Co(II)–Co(III) with both types of ligands
