Two oxime ligands were synthesized from acetylpyridine and imidazolecarboxaldehyde. Nickel (II) complexes were prepared from both the acetylpyridine oxime (ApyOH) and imidazolecarboxaldehyde oxime(ImcOH) ligands. Ligands of this type have previously been used to synthesize polynuclear complexes. Here we will discuss the influence of substituting Imidazole for Pyridine on the nature of the nickel(II) complexes. Spectroscopic and structural details will be discussed.
