Tryptophan moiety ligand based tri/tetranuclear Ni(ii) complexes: syntheses, structure and magnetic properties

Abstract

Tetra/tri nuclear Ni(II) complexes namely[Ni4(L)4(H2O)4].5(dmf).7(H2O) (1) and [Ni3(L)2(bz)2(dmf)2(H2O)2] (2) [H2L = N-(2-(hydroxy)-3-methoxybenzylidene)tryptophan); dmf = dimethyl formamide, bz = benzoate anion] have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal structure...
