A symmetric tetradentate Schiff base ligand bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)‐ o ‐phenylenediamine (H 2 L) was prepared. A series of transition metal complexes with this Schiff base ligand have been synthesized and structurally characterized by IR and elemental analysis. The catalysis for reduction of thionyl chloride was studied by means of constant resistance discharge. The result shows that [Mn(III)LCl(H 2 O)]CH 3 OH and [Co(II)HLCl(H 2 O)] have a good catalytic activity for the reduction of thionyl chloride, which improves the cell voltage, the rate of discharge, and the lifetime of Li/SOCl 2 batteries.
