Abstract
The planar transition-metal chelates NN′-ethylenebis(salicylideneaminato)metal(II)[M″(saen)] where the metal ion is cobalt(II), nickel(II), or copper(II) react with the halides InX3(where X = Cl or Br) to form 1 : 1 adducts in which planarity about the transition metal is retained. Structures are suggested for these adducts. The reaction of NiII(saen) with the halides GaX3(where X = Cl or Br) results in the formation of a 1 : 1 adduct whose structure, it is suggested, is best represented as GaX2[NiII(saen)]2 +GaCl4. The reaction of indium(III) and gallium(III) halides with FeIII(saen)2O in the majority of cases leads to products arising from halide exchange reactions However, in the reaction of InBr3 with FeIII(saen)2O a product formulated as FeIII(saen)OlnBr2 has been isolated.Keywords
