Chelating ligands nickel adducts

The cationic aqua complexes of the C2-symmetric trans-chelating tridentate ligand 447 proved also highly effective chiral catalysts. The complexes involving the metal(II) perchlorates of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc produced the main endo adduct of cyclopentadiene and N - aery loy 1-1,3 -oxazo I i din -2 -one with very high ee values281. 

Transition metal hydroxyoxime complexes have been reviewed very recently.2507 Their use in both analytical chemistry and extraction metallurgy is well known. The square planar structure of the bis chelate complex NiL (347) with the deprotonated 2-hydroxybenzaldoxime (HL) is typical of this series of nickel complexes.2508 Their bis adducts, NiLJ, with bases such as py, substituted pyridines and cyclomethyleneimines, are six-coordinate.2509 The acyl oxime (H2L) complexes are similar to the aforementioned complexes being either square planar bis chelates Ni(HL)2 (348) or octahedral bis adducts, Ni(HL)2B2.2507 When the acyl oxime acts as a dibasic ligand L, the corresponding (NiL) complexes are insoluble and involve extensive polymerization. 

Pyridine ligands 186 are monodentate, forming complexes of the kind presented by 189. Pyridine is coordinated in the same way in copper acetate 194 [314] and iron rhodanide complexes [315], adducts of cobalt complex with fe(salicylidene)ethyle-nediamine 195 [316] and nickel chelate, formed by tridentate N,S-donor azomethine ligand 196 [317] ...
