The complexation reaction between N-salicylidene-2-aminophenol, abbreviated as SAP, with Cu2+ ion was studied in binary mixtures of methanol and 1,4-dioxane by using conductometric and spectrophotometric method at different temperatures. The stability constants (Kf) for the 1:1 complex, Cu2+-SAP, were calculated from computer fitting of absorbance and molar conductance data against various mole ratios (cM:cL or cL:cM) in different binary solvent mixtures. A non-linear behaviour was observed for the variation of logKf for the complex against the solvent compositions. Various thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) for the formation of Cu2+-SAP complex were determined from the temperature dependence of stability constants (Kf). The overall results showed that the complexation reaction is entropy driven and is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents
