Some acylhydrazine derived ONO donor Schiff bases and their Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes have been prepared having the same metal ion (cation) but different anions. These synthesized metal(II) complexes have been characterized on the basis of their elemental analyses, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and IR and electronic spectral data. All of the Schiff base ligands function as tridentates a...

In the title dinuclear complex, [NiLa(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(3)OH)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of a Schiff base ligand and by two O atoms of two methanol ligands, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The La(III) ion is coordinated by six O atoms from three chelating nitrate ligands and four O atoms from the Schiff base ligan...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C15H14NO2)2], comprises an Ni(II) cation, lying on an inversion centre, and a Schiff base anion that acts as a bidentate ligand. The Ni(II) cation is in a square-planar coordination environment binding to the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the two Schiff base ligands. The N- and O-donor atoms of the two ligands are mutually trans, with Ni-N and N...

The ligand (2-[4-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)imino]methyl-phenol) HL1 containing the electron poor benzothiadiazole (BTD) unit, conveniently prepared by condensation of 4-amino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and salicylaldehyde, has been structurally characterized single crystal X-ray diffraction. Two energy minima have determined, DFT calculations, for its ortho-vanillin analogue HL2, corresponding either...
