M. Parra-hake et al., Synthesis and structure of dimeric [(cis-Py(3)Im)M](2) complexes [M = Ni, Cu, Zn; (cis-Py(3)Im) = cis-2,4,5-tri(2-pyridyl)imidazoline], INORG CHEM, 39(23), 2000, pp. 5400
A series of dinuclear complexes of the new tetradentate tripyridyl ligand,
cis-2,4,5-tri(2-pyridyl)imidazoline, (cis-Py(3)Im), 1, with Ni(II), Cu(II),
and Zn(II) is reported. The complexes introduced here are the first prepar
ed of the (cis-Py(3)Im) ligand system and illustrate the preferred binding
mode of this ligand to M(II) for M = Ni, Cu, and Zn. Each metal is bonded t
o two ligands, one through the cis-4,5-(2-pyridyl) groups and the other thr
ough the 2(2-pyridyl) and imidazoline nitrogens.
