M. Mikuriya et al., NOVEL TETRANUCLEAR NICKEL(II) COMPLEX WITH A MIXED-SPIN STATE GENERATED BY PAIRING OF DIMERS, Chemistry Letters, (4), 1993, pp. 637-640
A tetranuclear nickel(II) complex with 2,6-bis(salicylideneaminomethyl
)-4-methylphenol (H3L), [Ni4(L)2(Pz)2(CH3OH)] (pz=pyrazolate ion) has
been synthesized and characterized by electronic spectra and magnetic
susceptibilites (80-300 K). The X-ray crystal structure analysis has d
emonstrated that it consists of tetranuclear (low-spin-high-spin-high-
spin-low-spin) molecules with a zigzag structure.
