Summary

Three new ligands, potassium dihydrobis-, hydrotris- and tetrakis-(5-nitroindolyl)borates and their complexes with CrIII, MnII, FeIII, CoII, NiII and CuII have been synthesized. The divalent and trivalent metal ions form complexes in 1∶1 and 1∶2 metal: ligand ratios respectively. The CrIII and FeIII complexes of dihydrobis- and hydrotris-(5-nitroindolyl)borates appear to be octahedral and those of CuII are proposed to be square planar. A tetrahedral geometry is suggested for the MnII, CoII and NiII complexes. The tetrakis-(5-nitroindolyl)borate yielded octahedral complexes with all the metal ions except for CuII, which is square planar. The ligands may be placed in the vicinity of ethylenediamine in the nephelauxetic series.
