Paramagnetic adducts of the
nickel(11) chelates of the fluorinated monothio-β-diketones
RC(SH)=CHCOCF3 (R = β-naphthyl, p-ClC6H4, m-ClC6H4, m-BrC6H4, m-MeC6H4, 3,4-Cl2C6H3)
have been obtained with pyridine, y-picoline, 2,2'-bipyridyl, and 1,l0-phenanthroline.
They are of the type NiL2(base)2 (L = RCS=CHCOCF3;
base = py, γpic, �bpy, �phen). With
2,2',2"-terpyridyl two types of adduct were isolated: (a) mononuclear NiL2(trpy) and (b) trinuclear Ni3L6(trpy)2. The infrared spectra of all the adducts
display v(C-O) in the range 1552-1580 cm-l; this band is characteristic
of a bidentate monothio-β-diketonato ligand. The
spectra of the mononuclear terpyridyl adducts display
in addition a v(C=O) band at c. 1650 cm-1, indicating that one
carbonyl group is not coordinated.
