AZOLIGANDS AS BRIDGED IN MACROCYCLIC DINICKEL COMPLEXES

Abstract

The coordination chemistry of dinickel macrocyclic hexaamine-dithiophenolate complexes of Robson-type with azoligands is presented in this microreview. All complexes have been characterised by IR-,UV/Visspectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The bioctahedral transition metal complexes of the type [(L6)Ni2(μ-L')]+ exhibit a rich coordination chemistry since the active coordination site L' is accessible for a wide range of exogenous coligands.
