Octahedral complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II) with triethylenetetra-amine
Abstract
The preparation and the physical properties of complexes of the type [Ni(trien)(en)]X2(trien = triethylenetetra-amine; en = ethylenediamine; X = Cl, Br, I, SCN, NO3, AcO, ClO4, and BPh4 and [Cu(trien)(en)]X2(X = ClO4 and BPh4) are reported. The results indicate that both in solution and in the solid state the compounds are octahedral and that in solution the racemic mixture is present.
