Abstract (EN): New tetradentate ligands with N(2)OS coordination spheres were prepared and the corresponding nickel(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The structure of nickel{methyl-2-{N-[2-(3'-methoxy-2'-phenolate) methylidynenitrilo]ethyl}aminato(-1)-1-cyclopentenedithiocarboxylate) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. This complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 11.417 (3), b = 13.883 (4), c = 12.769 (3), Z=4 and R(1) = 0.0539 for 4641 reflections with I>2 sigma(I). The UV-Vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopic results indicate that the complexes have a square-planar structure in the solid state and in solution. Electrochemical and EPR data show that the complexes ar-reduced to the correspondent nickel(I) complexes, but that the ligands are non-innocent in the electrochemical oxidation of the complexes.
