Abstract

The crystal structures of [Co(methylisonicotinate)(2)(H2O)(4)](saccharinate)(2) and [Ni(methylisonicotinate)(2)(H2O)(4)](saccharinate)(2) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic, EPR and X-ray diffraction techniques. The XRD data have indicated that both the Co(II) and Ni(II) ions lie on an inversion center, having distorted octahedral coordination through four aqua ligands composing the basal plane and two trans nitrogen atoms from the monodentate methylisonicotinate ligands occupying the axial sites. The EPR spectra of these complexes have been studied in the temperature range between 113 and 300 K in three mutually perpendicular planes. The EPR spectral results were discussed and compared in relation with the other compounds containing saccharinate and methylisonicotinate complexes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
