Abstract
Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff bases have been synthesized by the template reaction of the half-units N-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine) (HL) and N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (HL1) with glyoxal monophenylhydrazone (HL2). The ligands (L-L2) and (L1-L2) formed are in situ, respectively. The complexes have been characterized by molar conductance, IR, 1H NMR and UV spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the Ni(II) complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography and exhibit square-planar conformation. Crystals of Ni(L1-L2) are monoclinic, space group P21, with a = 10.2552(5), b = 7.3422(4), c = 12.2414(6) Å, β = 93.0910(10)°, Z = 2. Crystals of Ni(L-L2) are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 24.5353(4), b = 9.8615(3), c = 22.2809(5) Å, β = 122.7710(10)°, Z = 8. The Ni-O and Ni-N bonds have very similar lengths and form a regular square-planar structure.
