Metallkomplexe mit biologisch wichtigen Liganden. CXLVII [1] Struktur und Eigenschaften von Pfeiffers Nickel(II)‐Schiff‐Base‐Komplex aus Salicylaldehyd und Glycinester

Metal Complexes with Biological Important Ligands. CXLVII [1] Structure and Properties of Pfeiffer's Nickel(II) Schiff Base Complex from Salicylaldehyde and Glycine Ester. The structure of the planar nickel(II) complex reported by Paul Pfeiffer with two Schiff base ligands from salicylaldehyde and glycine ethylester and with trans‐NiO₂N₂ arrangement was determined by X‐ray diffraction. The finding by Pfeiffer that this complex reacts with oxygen to give the bis(O, N‐imine) complex Ni(OC₆H₄CH=NH)₂ under C‐N cleavage could be confirmed by spectroscopic data, and a reaction path is suggested.
