Abstract

Five new nickel (II) complexes [Ni2L2 (N3)2(H2O) 2] (1), [Ni2L2(NO3)2] (2), [Ni2L2 (O2CPh)(CH3OH) 2]ClO4.0.5CH3OH (3), [Ni3L2(O2CPh)4] (4) and [Ni2L2(NO2)2]n (5) have been synthesized by using a tridentate Schiff base ligand, HL (2-[(3-Methylamino-propylimino)-methyl]-phenol) and the polyatomic monoanions N3, NO3, PhCOO or NO2. The complexes have been structurally and magnetically characterized. The structural analysis reveals that in all five complexes, the Ni (II) ions possess a distorted octahedral geometry. Complexes 1 and 2 are dinuclear with di-μ-1,1-azido and di-μ2-phenoxo bridges, respectively. Complex 3 is also a di-μ2-phenoxo-bridged dinuclear Ni(II) complex but has an additional syn−syn benzoate bridge. Compound 4 possesses a linear trinuclear structure with the tridentate Schiff base ligand coordinated to the terminal nickel atoms which are linked to the central Ni(II) by phenoxo and carboxylate bridges. Complex 5 consists of a dinuclear entity, bridged by di-μ 2-phenoxo together with a cis-(μ-nitrito-1κO:2μN) nitrite ion. The dinuclear units are linked each other by another bridging trans-(μ-nitrito-1κO:2κN) nitrite to form a Ni(II) chain that shows the presence of unprecedented alternating cis- and trans-N,O bridging mode of the nitrite anion. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of complex 1 indicate the presence of ferromagnetic exchange interactions within the dimer (J = 23.5(3) cm−1) together with antiferromagnetic interdimer interactions (J′ = −0.513(3) cm−1), whereas compounds 2 and 3 show intradimer antiferromagnetic interactions (J = −24.27(6) and −16.48(4) cm−1, respectively). Ferromagnetic coupling (J = 6.14(2) cm−1) is observed in complex 4 for the linear centro-symmetric Ni(II) trimer, whereas complex 5 shows an alternating intra-chain antiferromagnetic coupling (J1 = −32.1(1) cm−1 and J2 = −3.2(1) cm−1).
