A series of new nickel complexes bearing benzoxazolylpyridines was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of two representative complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex [NiCl2 {2-(2-benzoxazolyl)-6-methylpyridine}](5) is a centrosymmetric dinuclear compound with two penta-coordinated Ni (II) centers, whereas the complex [NiCl2 {2-(5- ...
