Synthesis of s-fac/mer bis(N2-methyldiethylenetriamine, L) nickel(II): X-ray single crystal structures of s-fac[NiL2](NO3)2 and mer[NiL2](CF3CO2)2

Abstract

[NiL2](NO3)2 (1) and [NiL2](CF3CO2)2 (2) (L = N2-methyldiethylenetriamine] have been synthesized and their X-ray single crystal structures have been determined. The triamines are ligated to NiII s-facially in (1) and meridionally in (2), with a NiN6 chromophore in each complex.
