Abstract

Two simple biphenyl-appended (2-pyridyl)alkylamine N-bidentate ligands, Le and Lm, having ethylene and methylene spacers between donor groups, with bite angles Le ≈ 100° and Lm ≈ 80°, dictate pseudotetrahedral and trigonal-bipyramidal geometries in six high-spin Ni(II)-halide complexes, [Ni(Le)X2] and [Ni(Lm)2X](ClO4) (where X = Cl-, Br-, I-), respectively. The structures in the solid state, determined using X-ray crystallography, and in solution, determined using spectroscopic methods (UV-vis-NIR and paramagnetic 1H NMR), which complement each other, are described.
