Abstract

Three new α-diimine Ni (II) complexes {bis [N, N′-(4-fluoro-2, 6-diphenylphenyl) imino] acenaphthene} dibromonickel 4a,{bis [N, N′-(4-chloro-2, 6-diphenylphenyl) imino] acenaphthene} dibromonickel 4b, and {bis [N, N′-(4-methyl-2, 6-diphenylphenyl) imino] acenaphthene} dibromonickel 4c, were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of the complex 4a was determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4a has pseudo- ...
