Popis: The steric effects of the co-ligands originated from the pi-cloud of the pyridine moiety and from increased aliphatic chain length have been utilized to synthesize two different binding modes of nitrite ion. A red-violet nitrito isomer trans -[NiL 2 (ONO) 2 ] ( 1 ) and a blue-violet nitrito (O,O) isomer cis -[NiL′ 2 (O 2 N)](NO 2 )·H 2 O ( 2 ) are obtained by adding L and L′ to the methanolic suspension of K 4 [Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ]·H 2 O [L = 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine and L′ = 2-(aminoethyl)pyridine]. No other isomer of complex 1 or 2 is yielded in solution irrespective of the nature of the solvent used or in the solid state. They have been characterized by routine physicochemical studies as well as by X-ray single crystal structure analysis.
