The title complexes, Ni(L)_2(1) and Cu(L)_2(2) based on HL(HL =N-(3-methylsalicylidene)tryptamine)have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized structurally by TGA, infrared spectra,elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 both crystallize in monoclinic system,and the space groups are P2_1/n with the unit cell parameters for complex 1: a=1.481 6(7) nm, b=1.310 0(6) nm,c=1.668 7(7) nm, β=111.346(7)°, and for complex 2: a=1.479 7(2) nm, b=1.299 41(19) ...
During the past decades,transition metal comp-lexes have attracted the attention of more and moreresearchers because of not only their rich coordinationmodes,but also their application in many fields ofcatalyst[1],photochemistry[2],magnetic material[3],me
