Pyridine-type complexes of transition metal halides

Formation of nitrogen ligated complexes of types NiL6X2, NiL4X2, NiL2X2 and NiL1X2 (whereL=pyridine, 2-, 3- and 4-methyl-pyridine andX=F, Cl, Br, I) have been studied by traditional preparative methods, i.e. from solutions and by solid-gas phase chemisorption. Quaternary mixed complexes were obtained by chemisorption from heated intermediates. The complexes thus formed were further analysed by simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA. Effects of the ligands on stoichiometry and thermal properties of the complexes are discussed.
