Ys. Sharma et P. Mathur, SPIN-STATE VARIATION IN NICKEL(II) COMPLEXES OF A REDOX-ACTIVE SCHIFF-BASE, Transition metal chemistry, 20(2), 1995, pp. 196-199
Nickel(II) complexes of a redox-active tetradentate Schiff base ligand
with ethylene/propylene linkages have been prepared and characterized
by spectroscopic and magnetic studies. The complexes are diamagnetic
in the solid state and exhibit paramagnetic behaviour in solution. Ref
lectance spectra of the samples indicate a shift of the main d-d band
envelope to lower energies as the bridge is changed from ethylene to p
ropylene.
