New fluoroalkyl-containing 2,2'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyldihydrazono)bis(1,3-diketones) and 2,2'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyldihydrazono)bis(3-oxopropionates) were synthesized by azo coupling of the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with biphenyl-4,4'-bis(diazonium) dichloride. Complexing ability of the obtained bis-hydrazones was studied, and new coordination compounds of the general formula M2L2 [where M = Ni(II), Cu(II); L = fluoroalkyl-containing 2,2'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyldihydrazono)bis(1,3-diketone)] were obtained.
