Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Studies of Some Polynuclear Mixed Carboxylate Complexes of Nickel(II)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00909678

A number of polynuclear mixed carboxylates of nickel(II) with the general composition x (where R'=C13H27, C15H31, C17H35 and C21H43 and n=1 or 2) have been synthesized by the transacylation reactions of anhydrous nickel acetate with higher carboxylic acids in refluxing toluene.On recrystallization from benzene-alcohol mixtures, mono-alcoholate complexes, Ni(OOCCH3)2-n(OOCR')n*ROH (where R=CH3 and C2H5) have been isolated.All these derivatives have been characterized by the molecular weight determinations, infra-red and electronic reflectance spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. - Keywords: IR Spectra; Magnetic susceptibility measurements; Carboxylates, Ni(II); Nickel(II)-carboxylates; UV-spectra
