Abstract

Two mononickel complexes, K2[Ni(Hccdp)](CH3OH)·8H2O (1), and [Ni(H2O)6][Ni(H2ccdp)(H2O)2]2·12H2O (2); a dinickel complex, K2[Ni2(ccdp)(acac)(H2O)2]·7H2O (3); and a tetranickel complex, Cs6[Ni4(ccdp)2(μ-η2-η2-CO3)2]·23H2O (4) (ccdp5−=N,N′-Bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N′-Bis[carboxymethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol; acac−=acetylacetonato) have been synthesized and fully characterized using different techniques including single crystal X-ray crystallography and electrochemistry. The redox behavior of complexes 1–4 were studied using cyclic voltammetry either in water or DMF solution systems. Whereas complexes 1, 2 and 4 found to be redox active, complex 3 showed no redox activity in water.
