Abstract
The reactions of representative 2-pyridyl oximes with NiII salts in the presence of a base have been investigated. The synthetic study has led to the new triangular complexes [Νi3(ppko)6]·2H2O·0.5E tOH·MeOH (1·2H2O·0.5EtOH·MeOH), [Νi3(mpko)3(HCO2)2(mpkoH) 2](ClO4) (2) and [Νi3(ppko)3(HCO2)2(ppkoH) 2](ClO4) (3), where ppko- is the anion of phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime and mpko- is the anion of methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ppko- ligand in 1 adopts four different coordination modes including the unique NpyridylOoximate chelating one which gives rise to a 6-membered chelating ring, while the neutral and the deprotonated oxime ligands in 2 adopt three different coordination modes. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have been studied by variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility techniques which indicate antiferromagnetic interactions.
