Synthesis and characterization of a new vic -dioxime 6,7- bis (hydroxyimino)-9,10-diethylidine-5,8,9,10,11,18-hexahydro-5,8,11,18-tetraazadibenzo[a,e]cyclotetradecane-6,7,12,17-tetraone and its nickel and cobalt complexes

Abstract

A new vic-dioxime 6,7-bis(hydroxyimino)-9,10-diethylidine-5,8,9,10,11,18-hexahydro-5,8,11,18-tetraazadibenzo[a,e]cyclotetradecane-6,7,12,17-tetraone (H₂L) and its hydrogen-bridged tetra- and six-coordinate complexes with Ni(II), Co(II), and Co(III) have been synthesized. The six-coordinate complexes of H₂L have pyridine and chloride as axial ligands. Hydrogen-bridge complexes were converted to their BF₂-bridged analogues by reaction with boron trifluoride etherate. Structures of the H₂L and its complexes were proposed from elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR and mass spectra.
