Imidazole complexes of nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), and silver(I)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50013a014

The site of complex formation of the imidazole molecule has been determined to be the pyridine nitrogen by comparing data on the N-methylimidazole complex with the imidazole complex of Ag(I). The preparation and characterization of a dual system of imidazole and imidazolate complexes is presented for Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Ag(I). Total heats of formation of these complexes have been determined.
