Synthesis, characterization and magnetic studies on mono-, di-, and tri-nuclear Cu(ii) complexes of a new versatile diazine ligand

Structures, properties and applications of Cu(II) complexes with tridentate donor ligands

Tridentate ligands offer theree donor atoms to coordinate to metal ions. The remaining vacant coordination sites on the metal ions provided opportunities to implement additional co-ligands to generate complexes with desired properties. Herein we discuss selected examples of Cu(ii) complexes with tridentate ligands utilizing combinations of N, O, S, and Se donors, focusing on effects of ligand flexibility/rigidity on their coordination modes, properties and applications.

Three series of heterometallic NiII–LnIII Schiff base complexes: synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic characterization

Three series of Ni^II–Ln^III complexes were synthesized using compartmental Schiff base ligands in conjunction with auxiliary ligands. Their magnetic properties have been well studied.
