Abstract
Two new nickel(II) complexes, namely Ni(L1)2 (1) and Ni(L2)2·CH2Cl2(2) were obtained by reacting nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate with the benzothiadiazole Schiff base ligands HL1 = 2-[4-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)imino]methyl-phenol or HL2 = 2-[(2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-4-ylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol in the presence of Et3N. The tridentate NNO chelate ligands induce a distorted octahedral environment around the nickel(II) ions. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals elongated Ni-N bonds with the nitrogen atom of the benzothiadiazole ring in both complexes. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions create two-dimensional and three-dimensional supramolecular arrays, respectively, for complexes 1 and 2. Magnetic susceptibility and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance measurements show the presence of significant magnetic anisotropy, with an axial distortion parameter D of -8--10 cm-1.
