Abstract

Abstract: The bidentate ligand 2, 2'-bis (2-imidazolyl) biphenyl (3= L) has been synthesized and used to prepare perchlorate complexes containing Cu (I1)(S), Ni (l1)(6), Co (I1)(7), Cu (I)(8), and Zn (I1). X-ray structure analysis of 5-8 reveals pseudotetrahedral, MN (imH) 4 chromophores, each with approximate Du point symmetry. The ligand 3 exerts an unprecedented degree of geometric control of the coordination spheres for complexes of ...
