SYNTHESES AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF COPPER(II) AND NICKEL(II) COMPLEXES DERIVED FROM 2-BROMO-4-CHLORO-6-[(2-METHYLAMINOETHYLIMINO)METHYL] PHENOL

摘要

A new centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(L)2](ClO4)2 (I) and a new centrosymmetric mononuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni(L)2(MeOH)2](ClO4)2 (II), where L is the zwitterionic ligand 2-bromo-4-chloro-6-[(2-methylammonioethylimino)methyl]phenolate, have been prepared from the Schiff base 2?bromo-4-chloro-6-[(2-methylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol with copper perchlorate and nickel perchlorate, respectively. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, and single-cyrstal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 1408054 (I) and 1407973 (II)). Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 7.7736(4), b = 21.608(1), c = 8.5194(4) ?, β = 93.907(2)°, V = 1427.7(1) ?3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0546, and wR2 = 0.1531. Complex II crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 21.324(3), b = 16.821(2), c = 9.425(1) ?, β = 90.114(2)°, V = =?3380.5(7) ?3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0693, and wR2 = 0.1627. The Cu atom in I is in square planar coordination, and the Ni atom in II is in octahedral coordination.
