In the complexes, the coordinated dipyridyl ketimine ligand has been transform to -{(C5H4N)2C=NH} resulting from nitrogen-carbon bond cleavage of the coordinated ligand. The complexes were isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts and characterized on the basis of FTIR, 1H, 13C NMR and partly by ESI-MS spectroscopic data. |
