Abstract
Abstract The direct reaction of the monodentate teritary amine, quinuclidine, N(CH 2 CH 2 ) 3 CH = Q, with the chlorides of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) in ethanol—diethylether solution yields a series of crystalline complexes of formula [MCl 2 Q 2 ]. On the basis of d--d electronic spectra, vibrational spectra, magnetic properties, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns these complexes are assigned a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry with C 2v symmetry. The ligand field strength of quinuclidine is discussed in comparison to that of sterically hindered substituted pyridines.
