A series of new nickel(II) perchlorate complexes containing an alpha-d
iimine(enR) and the anion of a beta-dione (1,3-ketoenol or 1,3-ketoest
er, beta H) was prepared and characterized. The composition and the ov
erall structure of the new chelates depend on ligand concentration, on
steric and electronic effects induced by substituents within the liga
nds and the ability of the perchlorate group to coordinate. The IR and
electronic excitation spectra of [Ni(enR)(2)beta]ClO4 and [Ni(enR)bet
a(O2ClO2)] indicate, in conjunction with other physicochemical measure
ments, bidentate coordination of the ligands and replacement of the (O
,O') perchlorato group by basic solvents. The structure of the new che
lates was further supported by an X-ray structure analysis of [Ni(ncup
)(2)Etacet]ClO4, where ncup denotes neocuproine and Etacet the anion o
f the ethyl acetoacetate (orthorhombic, space group Pc2(1)n, a = 14.08
7(5), b = 14.713(5) and c = 15.952(5) Angstrom, Z = 4). The coordinati
on sphere of nickel is a distorted octahedron, arised from the chromop
hore NiN4O2, in which the base is favored by three neocuproine nitroge
ns and one Etacet oxygen. The apical sites are occupied by the remaini
ng oxygen and nitrogen atoms, one from Etacet and one from neocuproine
respectively.
