Phenoxo-bridged dinuclear mixed valence cobalt(III/II) complexes with reduced Schiff base ligands: Synthesis, characterization, band gap measurement and fabrication of Schottky barrier diodes

Two homometallic class-I dinuclear mixed valence cobalt complexes, [(N3)CoIIIL1(µ-(m-NO2)C6H4COO)CoII(N3)] (1) and [(N3)CoIIIL2(µ-C6H4(NO2)CO2)CoII(N3)] (2) have been synthesized using multisite N2O4 coordination ligands, H2L1 {where H2L1 = 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(iminomethylene)bis(6-methoxyphenol) and H2L2 = (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(iminomethylene)bis(6-ethoxyphenol)}....

Heterometallic Complexes Containing the NiII-LnIII-NiII Moiety—Structures and Magnetic Properties

This review summarizes the structural characteristics and magnetic properties of trinuclear complexes containing the NiII-LnIII-NiII moiety and also oligonuclear complexes and coordination polymers containing the same trinuclear moiety. The ligands used are mainly polydentate Schiff base ligands and reduced Schiff base ligands and, in some cases, oximato, β-diketonato, pyridyl ketone ligands and others. The compounds reported are restricted to those containing one, two and three oxygen atoms as bridges between the metal ions; examples of carboxylato and oximato bridging are also included due to structural similarity. The magnetic properties of the complexes range from ferro- to antiferromagnetic depending on the nature of the lanthanide ion.

Methylene spacer regulated variation in supramolecular assembly of zinc(ii) dicyanamide complexes with reduced Schiff base ligands: synthesis, structure and DFT study

Three tetranuclear zinc dicyanamide complexes with three potential hexadentate reduced Schiff base ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The DFT study is devoted to the analysis of the competition between C–H⋯π and π⋯π interactions.

Methylene spacer regulated variation in molecular and crystalline architectures of cobalt(iii) complexes with reduced Schiff base ligands: a combined experimental and theoretical study

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.

A series of trinuclear zinc(ii) complexes with reduced Schiff base ligands: turn-off fluorescent chemosensors with high selectivity for nitroaromatics

A series of trinuclear zinc(ii) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The ability of the complexes to act as sensors for the detection of nitroaromatics in DMF has been assessed.

Ni(II) Dimers of NNO Donor Tridentate Reduced Schiff Base Ligands as Alkali Metal Ion Capturing Agents: Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties

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.
