Abstract
Complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with the ligands 2- acetamidopyridine (acpy) and 2-aminomethyl-6-methylpyridine (mepic) have been prepared and studied. They included [Co(acpy)2X2], [Co(mepic)2X2], [Ni(acpy)2X2], and [Ni-(mepic)2X2], in which X is Cl, Br, I, or NCS; [Co(acpy)2(NO3)2], [Co(mepic)2(NO3)2], [Ni(acpy)2(NO3)2], [Ni(mepic)3NO3]NO3, [Co(acpy)3](ClO4)2, [Co(mepic)3](ClO4)2, [Co(mepic)3](CoCl4), [Ni(acpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2, and [Ni(mepic)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2. The inner complex of 2-methylpyridine-6- carboxylic acid [Co(mepiac)2,2H2O)] was also isolated. In all cases, the magnetic properties, conductances, reflectance spectra, absorption spectra, and infrared spectra are in agreement with the concept that they are spin-free, six-coordinate octahedral complexes. The substance [Ni(mepic)2NO3]NO3 contains both bidentate and ionic nitrate.
