摘要
Heteroleptic nickel(II) complexes with the general formula Ni(L)m(H2O)n(X)k, have been synthesized and structurally characterized; L stands for neutral N-donor ligands: 4-benzofuropyridine (bzfupy), dimethylfuropyridine (Me2fupy) and 1,2-dimethylimidazole (Me2iz), X = acetate or Cl−. The structures of the complexes [Ni(bzfupy)2(ac)2(H2O)2], [Ni(Me2fupy)2(H2O)4](ac)2 and [Ni(Me2iz)4(H2O)2]Cl2 · 3H2O are formed from {NiO2O′2N2}, {NiO4N2} and {NiN4O2} chromophores, respectively. These complexes and two other previously characterized complexes, [Ni(pz)4(ac)2], pz – pyrazole, and [Ni(LNN)2(H2O)2], LNN – bidentate chelating ligand, were subjected to magnetochemical investigation down to 2 K (susceptibility and magnetization measurements). They show magnetic behaviour typical for zero-field splitting systems. The axial parameter of the zero-field splitting, D, adopts either positive or negative values and correlates with the axial distortion of the coordination polyhedra.
