The differences in the molecular and crystalline architectures of two heteronuclear cobalt(iii)/sodium complexes were correlated with the relative dispositions of NH groups in them and were explained using the results of DFT calculations.

Three trinuclear Ni(II)-Na(I) complexes,[Ni2(L1)2NaCl3(H2O)]·H2O (1), [Ni2(L2)2NaCl3(H2O)] (2), and [Ni2(L3)2NaCl3(OC4H10)] (3) have been synthesized using three different NNO donor tridentate reduced Schiff base ligands, HL1= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-phenol, HL2= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-4-chloro-phenol, and HL3= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-6-methoxy-phenol that had been structurally characterized. Among these complexes, 1 and 2 are isostructural in which dinuclearNi(II) units act as metalloligands to bind Na(I) ions via phenoxido and chlorido bridges. The Na(I) atom is five-coordinated, and the Ni(II) atom possesses hexacordinated distorted octahedral geometry. In contrast, in complex 3, two -OMe groups from the dinuclear Ni(II) unit also coordinate to Na(I) to make its geometry heptacordinated pentagonal bipyramidal. The magnetic measurements of complexes 1–3 indicate ferromagnetic interactions between dimeric Ni(II) units with J = 3.97 cm−1, 4.66 cm−1, and 5.50 cm−1for 1–3, respectively, as is expected from their low phenoxido bridging angles (89.32°, 89.39°, and 87.32° for 1–3, respectively). The J values have been calculated by broken symmetry DFT method and found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.
