Syntheses and Structures of Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes of 2,6-Bis((2-acetylphenyl)carbamoyl)pyridine: Effects of Molecular Structure on Crystal Lattice Architecture

The structural properties of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with the new multidentate ligand 2,6-bis[(2-acetylphenyl)carbamoyl]pyridine, H21, has been investigated to address the effects of ligand structure on the assembly of metal complexes into crystal lattices.
