Cunningham, D. McArdle, P. Mitchell, M. Ní Chonchubhair, N. O'Gara, M. Franceschi, Federico Floriani, Carlo Adduct Formation between Alkali Metal Ions and Divalent Metal Salicylaldimine Complexes Having Methoxy Substituents. A Structural Investigation Sodium, potassium, and cesium salts (iodides, nitrates, acetates, and tetraphenylborates) form 1/1, 1/2 and 2/3 adducts with ML<i><sub>n</sub></i> [M = Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn; <i>n</i> = 1−4; H<sub>2</sub>L<sub>1</sub> = <i>N,N</i>‘-(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine; H<sub>2</sub>L<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>L<sub>3</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>L<sub>4</sub> are the -propane-1,2-diamine, -<i>o</i>-phenylenediamine, and -propane-1,3-diamine analogues of H<sub>2</sub>L<sub>1</sub>). Metal salicylaldimine, alkali metal, and anion all exert influence on stoichiometry and reactivity. Sodium ions tend to reside within the planes of the salicylaldimine oxygens, as in Na(NO<sub>3</sub>)(MeOH)·NiL<sub>4</sub> (<b>1</b>), Na(NO<sub>3</sub>)(MeOH)·CuL<sub>1</sub> (<b>2</b>; both with unusual seven-coordinated sodium), and Na·(NiL<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>I·EtOH·H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>3</b>; with dodecahedral sodium coordination geometry). Potassium and cesium tend to locate between salicylaldimine ligands as in KI·NiL<sub>4</sub> (<b>4</b>) and [Cs(NO<sub>3</sub>)·NiL<sub>4</sub>]<sub>3</sub>·MeOH (<b>5</b>; structures with infinite sandwich assemblies), CsI·(NiL<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>6</b>), CsI<sub>3</sub>·(NiL<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>7</b>; simple sandwich structures), and [K(MeCN)]<sub>2</sub>·(NiL<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (<b>8</b>; a triple-decker sandwich structure).
