title: Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of some Ni(II)Cu(II) heterobimetallic complexes derived from succinoyldihydrazones.
abstract: Synthesis, structural characterization and redox properties of three heterobimetallic complexes with formule {[NiCu(L(n))(CH3OH)3]·CH3OH} using [Cu(H2L(n))(H2O)] as metalloligand have been demonstrated in the present paper. Electronic spectroscopy suggests that the copper center has a pseudo square pyramidal stereochemistry in all the complexes while the nickel center has a distorted octahedral stereochemistry. The electron transfer reactions of the complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
