| Abstract: | The Schiff base, 2–salicylidene–4–aminophenyl benzimidazole in ethanol undergoes activation of –N=CH– bond by Ni2+ in the presence of ammonia or primary alkyl amine to produce nickel complexes of the formula Ni{o–C6H4(O)CH NR}2 . n H2O [R = H, Me; n = 0; R = Et, n = 0.5] and 4–aminophenyl benzimidazole. The products have been identified by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and IR, ESR, mass and extensive NMR spectral studies. The possible mechanism for the activation of –N=CH – bond has also been proposed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
