Seven complexes have been synthesized from the Ni(II) - HBz - bpy system under various experimental conditions and were characterized chemically and spectroscopically. X-ray structure analysis revealed hexacoordinated Ni(II) atoms in all complexes. Magnetic studies showed single-ion anisotropy in complex 1, with theoretical calculations confirming the influence of rhombic anisotropy.
Under various experimental conditions seven complexes have been crystallized from the systems Ni(II) - HBz - bpy (HBz = benzoic acid, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). The use of freshly prepared Ni(OH)(2) as starting reagent leads to isolation of [Ni(bpy)(Bz)(2)] (1) and [Ni(bpy)(3)](Bz)(2)center dot 5H(2)O (2). On the other hand, the use of nickel(II) nitrate as starting salt yielded 1 and also resulted in the formation of additional complexes in which the nitrate group entered into the final compositions, namely [Ni(bpy)(2)(Bz)](NO3)center dot 2HBz (3), [Ni(bpy)(2)(Bz)](NO3)center dot 1.25H(2)O (4), [Ni (bpy)(2)(H2O)(NO3)](NO3)center dot 0.5HBz (5), [Ni(bpy)(2)(NO3)](NO3) (6) and [Ni(bpy)(3)](NO3)2 center dot nH(2)O (n = 4.25) (7). The newly prepared complexes were characterized chemically and spectroscopically. The results of X-ray structure analyses of 1, 3-6 have shown that in all complexes, the Ni(II) atoms are hexacoordinated. Complex 1 exhibits a mononuclear molecular structure, while the ionic structures of 3-6 are built up of mononuclear complex cations with a heteroleptic coordination sphere around the Ni(II) atoms and by nitrate anions. In addition, the structures of 3-5 contain HBz solvate molecules or water molecules. The magnetic properties of 1 were studied in the temperature range 1.8-300 K showing that 1 is characterized by the presence of single-ion anisotropy of the easy-axis type with a value of D/kB = -6.32 K and a strong rhombic term with E/D = 0.327. Theoretical calculations using the ORCA package also confirm a significant influence of rhombic anisotropy.
