Anionic Complexes of Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Containing Schiff Bases

Abstract

A series of complexes of the type M'[M(BB')]where M = tetramethyl ammonium (Me₄N⁺) or cetylpyridinium chloride (Cepy⁺), M = Ni(II), Cu(II), BB' = bi-negative tridentate ligands such as salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, salicylaldehyde o-amino phenol and salicylaldehyde anthranilic acid have been isolated in non-aqueous medium. The compounds were characterised on the basis of their elemental analyses, molecular weight, conductivity, magnetic moment, infrared and electronic spectral data.
