Some binary and ternary complexes of Ni(II) with arylideneanthranilic acids and Lewis bases have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction. On the basis of the IR spectra it was found that the Schiff bases used act as monobasic bidentate ligands except for the ortho-hydroxy derivative which acts as a dibasic tridentate ligand. From X-ray analysis it is concluded that the binary Ni(II) chelates are isostructural, and the ternary Ni(II) complexes are also isostructural.
