We have recently reported a series of neutral square planar tridentate Schiff base (L) complexes of the general formula [(L)M(py)], showing relatively high first-order hyperpolarizabilities and NLO redox switching behavior. In the present study, new members of this family of compounds have been prepared with the objective to investigate their potential as building blocks in the on-demand construction of D-π-A push–pull systems. Namely, ternary nickel(II) building blocks of general formula [(LA/D)Ni(4-pyX)] (4–7), where LA/D stands for an electron accepting or donating dianionic O,N,O-tridentate Schiff base ligand resulting from the monocondensation of 2-aminophenol or its 4-substituted nitro derivative and β-diketones R-C(=O)CH2C(=O)CH3 (R = methyl, anisyl, ferrocenyl), and 4-pyX is 4-iodopyridine or 4-ethynylpyridine, were synthesized and isolated in 60–78% yields. Unexpectedly, the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between the 4-iodopyridine derivative 6 and 4-ethynylpyridine led to the formation of the bis(4-pyridyl) acetylene bridged centrosymmetric dimer [{(LD)Ni}2(µ2-py-C≡C-py)] (8). Complexes 4–8 were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction and computational methods. In each compound, the four-coordinate Ni(II) metal ion adopts a square planar geometry with two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms as donors occupying trans positions. In 8, the Ni…Ni separation is of 13.62(14) Å. Experimental results were proved and explained theoretically exploiting Density Functional Theory calculations.

The use of N'–(1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethylidene)nicotinohydrazide (HL) in lanthanide(III) chemistry has yielded one mononuclear and one dinuclear complexes. The 1:1 Nd(NO3)3.6H2O or Pr(CH3COO)3.6H2O/HL in methanol afforded the complexes [Nd (HL)2(NO3)2(H2O)2].(NO3) (1) and {[Pr(L)(h2–OOCCH3)(H2O)](h1:h2:m–OOCCH3)2[Pr (L)(h2–OOCCH3)(H2O)]} (2). The structures of the complexes were solved by single crystal X–ray crystallography. In the mononuclear complex, the Nd3+ atom is coordinated by two neutral molecules of ligand acting in tridentate fashion, two nitrate anions acting in bidentate manner and two coordinated water molecules yielding a twelve–coordinated Nd atom. In the complex (2) the Pr3+ atoms are doubly bridged by two acetates anions and each metal ion is coordinated by one tridentate monodeprotonated molecule ligand, one bidentate acetate group and one coordinated water molecule. Each Pr3+ atom is nine–coordinated with an environment best described as a tricapped prismatic geometry. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the following parameters: a = 22.7657(8) Å, b = 8.4276(3) Å, c = 18.0831(7) Å, b = 114.851(2)°, V = 3148.2(2) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.032, wR2 = 0.098. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the following parameters: a = 11.5388(6) Å, b = 14.1087(8) Å, c = 12.2833(6) Å, b = 102.211(2)°, V = 1954.45(18) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.029, wR2 = 0.066. The supramolecular structures are consolidated by multiple hydrogen bonds.
