Bridging intermediates in a redistribution reaction of some metal chelates
Abstract
Exchange of ligand between bis-(N-methylsalicylaldimino)nickel(II) and bis-(N-methylsalicylaldimino)zinc(II) is fast on an n.m.r. time scale at room temperature and above in CDCl3 providing evidence for the intermediacy of paramagnetic mixed-metal oligomers in the exchange.
