A new unsymmetrical vic-dioxime bearing salicylaldehyde 4-aminobenzoylhydrazone and its homo-and heterotrinuclear complexes with copper(II) and nickel(II) ions

A new vic-dioxime, N-{4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]hydrazinecarbonyl]phenyl}aminoglyoxime (H₃L), was prepared by the reaction of anti-chloroglyoxime with salicylaldehyde 4-aminobenzoylhydrazone. The reaction of H₃L with Cu(II) salts and an appropriate simple ligand gave only homotrinuclear complexes Cu₃(HL)₂X₂], whereas the reaction of H₃L with Ni(II) salts gave mono-and homotrinuclear complexes Ni(H₂L)₂ and Ni₃(HL)₂X₂]. Also, heterotrinuclear complexes of H₃L were prepared by the reaction of Ni(H₂L)₂ with Cu(II) salt and an appropriate simple ligand, NiCu₂(HL)₂X₂], X = Cl⁻, NO ₃ ⁻ , SCN⁻, CN⁻, and N ₃ ⁻ . The new vic-dioxime and its complexes were identified by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, UV-VIS, magnetic susceptibility, and mass spectral data. The elemental analyses and spectral data indicated that the hydrazone side of H₃L acted as monobasic tridentate and the fourth position was occupied by simple ligands, such as Cl⁻, NO ₃ ⁻ , SCN⁻, CN⁻, and N ₃ ⁻ .
