In the title trinuclear Ni(II) compound, [Ni(3)(C(18)H(19)N(2)O(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(4)]·C(3)H(7)NO·H(2)O, three Ni(II) cations are bridged by two N'-(adamantan-1-ylcarbon-yl)-2-oxidobenzohydrazidate trianions. The central Ni(II) cation has a distorted octa-hedral N(4)O(2) coordination environment where a reverse torsion occurs between the two bridging ligands, whereas the two Ni(II) cations on th...

The title compound, [Ni(C(2)O(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), is isostructural with its Mn(II), Fe(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) analogues. Each Ni(II) atom is chelated by two oxalate ligands and one 2,2'-bipyridine, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. Oxlate acts as a bridge to link neighbouring pairs of Ni(II) cations, forming a one-dimensional wave-like chain. The crystal showed partial inve...

Our research group have been working on transistion metal complexes and their activity in the biology field, especially antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Novel pseudohalide ligands with orotic acid and its metal salt Ni(II) have been synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities by disc diffusion method. The complexes have been characterized by IR, SEM, Raman, P-Xrd and UV...

Salicylic acid-Formaldehyde-m-Cresol (SFM) terpolymer had been synthesized in DMF media by conventional method. The resulting resin had been characterized by FTIR spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. The morphology of SFM resin had been studied by SEM and Optical photograph. Various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of pH on ion exchange capacity and effect of conc...

A trinuclear nickel complex of phenanthrene-9,10-dione dioxime (H2pqd), namely bis-[μ2-9,10-bis-(oxido-imino)-phenanthrene]-bis-[μ2-10-(oxido-imino)phenanthrene-9-one oxime](phenanthrene-9,10-dione dioxime)trinickel(II) toluene disolvate, [Ni3(C14H8N2O2)2(C14H9N2O2)2(C14H10N2O2)]·2C7H8, has been isolated and its crystal structure determined. This complex features three independent Ni(II) atoms ...

The sorption of Ni(II) on a calcareous aridisol (CA) soil, one of the major soil types in northwestern China, was investigated using batch and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) approaches in a 0.01 mol/L NaClO4 solution at different pH values (6.0-10.0), temperatures (25-60 °C) and contact times (2-15 days). Under alkaline conditions, EXAFS analysis showed that the interatomic di...

Retention of heavy metal ions on soil mineral surfaces is an important process for maintaining environmental quality. A thorough understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of heavy metal sorption on soil mineral surfaces is therefore of fundamental importance. The present study examines the kinetics and mechanisms of Ni(II) sorption onto pyrophyllite, kaolinite, gibbsite, and montmorillonite....

The Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with phenylpyridylformamidine (PhPyF) ligand, [Ni(PhPyF)Cl2] and [Zn(PhPyF)Cl2], have been prepared and investigated using different chemical techniques such as elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-vis spectra and magnetic moment. The obtained chemical analysis data showed the formation of 1:1 (metal: ligand) ratio. The square planar and tetrahedral g...

In the title azide-bridged dinuclear centrosymmetric nickel(II) complex, [Ni(2)(N(3))(4)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)], the Ni(II) atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms of the 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and three N atoms from three azide ligands in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The Ni⋯Ni distance is 3.2398 (12) Å.
