Abstract
A series of 1,3-chxn(cis-1,3-cyclohexanediamine) copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes have been prepared and studied using spectroscopic and magnetic techniques. The violet and red copper(II) complexes of 1,3-chxn were found to consist of monomeric distorted octahedra and slightly distorted square planers, respectively. The nickel(II) complexes have a square planar structure. The conformational change of the ligand from diequatorial to diaxial on coordination has been confirmed by infrared analysis.
