Synthesis and reactivity of copper(II) and nickel(II) imidazolate complexes containing unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff's bases
Abstract
Copper(II) and nickel(II) imidazolate complexes containing unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff's bases, prepared by the reaction of imidazolecarbaldehydes with the mono-Schiff's base from salicylaldehyde and 1,3-diaminopropane, react with metalloporphyrins to yield imidazolate-bridged bi- and tri-nuclear complexes.
