Preparation, thermoanalytical and IR study of mixed ligand complexes formed in water-1,2-ethanediol- nickel(II)-sulfate systems

Summary

Mixed ligand nickel(II) complexes of different compositions were prepared with water, sulfate ion and 1,2-ethanediol as ligands. The magnetic susceptibility data, the IR spectra and the thermoanalytical curves of the complexes were recorded. Oxygen atoms bound by one or two coordinate bonds to the metal ion, or by hydrogen-bonds in the crystal state were observed. All complexes are sensitive for moisture. The bis complex proved to be the more stable complex.
