Ir. Laskar et al., Diamine complexes of nickel(II) nitrate: X-ray single crystal structural analysis of trans-[NiL2(NO3)(2)] [L=1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine], TRANSIT MET, 26(4-5), 2001, pp. 594-597
Trans-[NiL2(H2O)(2)](NO3)(2) (pale blue) (1), trans-[NiL2(NO3)(2)] (dark bl
ue) (2)**, [L = 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine] and trans-[NiL2'(H2O)(2)](NO3)(
2) (blue) (3) [L = 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine] have been prepared. Complex
es (1) and (3) upon heating undergo deaquation-anation yielding trans-[NiL2
(NO3)(2)] (dark blue) (2) and cis-[NiL2'(NO3)](NO3) (blue) (3a), respective
ly. The X-ray single crystal structure of complex (2) has been determined.
