Magnetic and spectroscopic studies of some lutidine complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Abstract

Magnetic susceptibilities in the temperature range 80—300 K, and electronic spectra of some octahedral and tetrahedral complexes of cobalt(II) chloride and nitrate, and nickel(II) chloride and bromide with 2,3-, 2,4-, 3,4-, and 3,5-lutidine are reported. The magnetic data for the octahedral cobalt(II) and tetrahedral nickel(II) complexes are consistent with structures having axial symmetry.
