Abstract
Several copper and nickel complexes of thioether ether ligands with heterocyclic aromatic ligands have been prepared. The metal complexes have been characterized by diverse physical techniques. Crystal structures of the metal complexes display various geometries and coordination numbers. The crystal structures of two ligands were also determined. The majority of the ligands synthesized contain heterocyclic nitrogen donor groups besides thioether sulfurs. The copper complexes of thioether donor ligands show high redox potentials. The donor atom arrangement leads to relatively strong optical absorption in the uv-visible spectra of the copper complexes. By carefully altering the ligand design a wide variety of Ni(II) complexes with geometries varying from diamagnetic square planar to paramagnetic octahedral were prepared. Some of these complexes support Ni(I) as evidenced by electrochemistry.
