Synthesis and characterization of Cu(II) complexes of tetradentate and tridentate symmetrical Schiff base ligands involving o-phenelenediamine, salicylaldehyde and diacetylmonoxime
A mononuclear complex [CuL] (1), a binuclear complex [Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (2), a trinuclear complex [Cu3L2](ClO4)(2) (3) involving o-phenylenediamine and salicylaldehyde and another binuclear complex of a tridentate ligand (H2L1) [Cu2L (2) (1) ](CH3COO)(2) (4) involving o-phenylenediamine and diacetylmonoxime have been synthesized, where H2L = N,N'-o-phenylenebis(salicylideneimine) and H2L1 = 3-(2-aminophenylimino)butan-2-one oxime. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectral and magnetic studies. The binuclear complex (2) was characterized structurally where the two Cu(II) centers are connected via an oxygen-bridged arrangement

Syntheses, characterization and X-ray crystal structures of a mono- and a penta-nuclear nickel(II) complex with oximato Schiff base ligands
A mononuclear octahedral nickel(II) complex [Ni(HL(1))(2)](SCN)(2) (1) and an unusual penta-nuclear complex [{(NiL(2))(mu-SCN)}(4)Ni(NCS)(2)]center dot 2CH(3)CN (2) where HL(1) = 3-(2-aminoethylimino)butan-2-one oxime and HL(2) = 3-(hydroxyimino)butan-2-ylidene)amino)propylimino)butan-2-one oxime have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The mono-condensed ligand, HL(1), was prepared by the 1:1 condensation of the 1,2-diaminoethane with diacetylmonoxime in methanol under high dilution. Complex 1 is found to be a mer isomer and the amine hydrogen atoms are involved in extensive hydrogen bonding with the thiocyanate anions. The dicondensed ligand, HL(2), was prepared by the 1:2 condensation of the 1,3-diaminopropane with diacetylmonoxime in methanol. The central nickel(II) in 2 is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms of six thiocyanate groups, four of which utilize their sulphur atoms to connect four NiL2 moieties to form a penta-nuclear complex and it is unique in the sense that this is the first thiocyanato bridged penta-nuclear nickel(II) compound with Schiff base ligands
Syntheses, characterization and x-ray crystal structures of copper (II) and nickel (II) complexes of tridentate monocondensed diamines
The syntheses and characterization of three compounds involving tridentate “half-units” 7-amino-4-methyl-5-aza-3-hepten-2-one (HAMAH) and 8-amino-4-methyl-5-aza-3-octen-2-one (HAMAO) are described. Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with HAMAH have been isolated as four-coordinate complexes, the fourth coordination site being taken by imidazole, and have been structurally characterized. A Cu(II) complex involving HAMAO has been isolated as a highly insoluble polymeric species. Hydroxo bridging between the metal centres is indicated

A very rare hydrogen-bridged hexanuclear CuII complex containing a triangular Cu3O core capped by an unusual triply coordinated perchlorate anion
An unusual hexanuclear Cu-II complex, [{[Cu(NHDEPO)](3)(mu(3)-O)(O3ClO)}(2)(mu-H)]center dot 7ClO(4)center dot 4H(2)O (1) was prepared starting from Cu(ClO4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O and the oxime-based Schiff base ligand NHDEPO (= 3-[3-(diethylamino)propylimino]butan-2-one oxime). Structural characterization of the complex reveals that it consists of two triangular Cu3O units, the copper ions being at the corners of an equilateral triangle, separated by an O center dot center dot center dot O distance of 2,447(5) angstrom, held together solely by a proton. In each triangle, the copper atoms are in square-pyramid environments.

A very rare hydrogen-bridged hexanuclear Cu<sup>II</sup> complex containing a triangular Cu<sub>3</sub>O core capped by an unusual triply coordinated perchlorate anion
An unusual hexanuclear CuII complex, [{[Cu(NHDEPO)]3(μ 3-O)(O3ClO)}2(μ-H)]•7ClO4•4H2O (1) was prepared starting from Cu(ClO4)2•6H2O and the oxime-based Schiff base ligand NHDEPO (= 3-[3-(diethylamino)propylimino]butan-2-one oxime). Structural characterization of the complex reveals that it consists of two triangular Cu3O units, the copper ions being at the corners of an equilateral triangle, separated by an O•••O distance of 2.447(5) Å, held together solely by a proton. In each triangle, the copper atoms are in square-pyramid environments. The equatorial plane consists of the bridging oxygen of the central OH– (O2–) group together with three atoms (N, N, O) of the Schiff base. An unusual triply coordinated perchlorate ion (μ 3-κO:κO′:κO″) interacts in axial position with the three copper ions. Variable-temperature (2–300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements show that complex 1 is antiferromagnetically coupled (J = –148 cm–1). The EPR data at low temperature clearly indicates the presence of spin frustration phenomenon in the complex
Nickel (II) and copper (II) complexes of tetradentate unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands: first evidence of positional isomerism in such system
The 1:1 condensation of 2,4-pentanedione and 1,2-diaminopropane gives a mixture two positional isomers of tridentate mono-condensed product 7-amino-4-methyl-5-aza-3-octene-2-one (HAMAO) and 7-amino-4,6-dimethyl-5-aza-3-heptene-2-one (HADAH) that reacted readily with Ni(II) thiocyanate to yield exclusively a single product, [Ni(AMAO)NCS] (1) in which the methyl substituent of diamine is ‘remote’ from the imino nitrogen. The mixture of terdentate ligands has been used for further condensation with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde or 2-acetylpyridine to obtain the unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligands. The tetradentate ligands formed by the condensation of it and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde readily yielded complexes with Cu(II) and Ni(II) (2 and 3, respectively). Crystal structure analysis shows that in 2 the condensation site of the diamine with 2,4-pentanedione is the same as in 1 but that in 3 is different (the methyl group of the diamine is located in the vicinity of 2,4-pentanedione), i.e. the tetradentate ligand is in two different isomeric forms in complexes 2 and 3. Another tetradentate ligand, obtained by the condensation of the tridentate ligands and 2-acetylpyridine yielded a Ni(II) complex (4) where the methyl group is in the vicinity of 2,4-pentanedione as in 3. The isomerization in the Ni(II) complexes has been studied by NMR spectroscopy

A new tetranuclear copper(II) complex with oximate bridges: structure, magnetic properties and DFT study
A new tetranuclear complex, [Cu4L4](ClO4)4·2H2O (1), has been synthesized from the self-assembly of copper(II) perchlorate and the tridentate Schiff base ligand (2E,3E)-3-(2-aminopropylimino) butan-2-one oxime (HL). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that complex 1 consists of a Cu4(NO)4 core where the four copper(II) centers having square pyramidal environment are arranged in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. They are linked together by a rare bridging mode (μ3-η1,η2,η1) of oximato ligands. Analysis of magnetic susceptibility data indicates moderate antiferromagnetic (J1 = −48 cm−1, J2 = −40 cm−1 and J3 = −52 cm−1) exchange interaction through σ-superexchange pathways (in-plane bridging) of the oxime group. Theoretical calculations based on DFT technique have been used to obtain the energy states of different spin configurations and estimate the coupling constants and to understand the exact magnetic exchange pathways
