On Some Mixed Chelates of Nickel(II) Which Are Highly Volatile, Fusible, and Soluble in Nonpolar Solvents

Abstract

Abstract It was found that the mixed chelates of nickel (II) with the general formula [Ni(diam)(β-dik)2], where diam means an N,N- or N,N′-alkylated ethylenediamine and β-dik a β-diketonate anion, are highly volatile, fusible, and often amazingly soluble in nonpolar solvents like CCl4, benzene, or heptane. Representative data on these properties are presented and their correlations with the structures of the ligands are discussed.
