New materials based on metal complexes of bis(arylimino)isoindoline

Molecular architecture has been used to develop new materials with our knowledge of Bis(arylimino)isoindoline (BAII). Ni(BAII)2,\ Ni(NBAII)2 and Cu(NBAII)(OAc) complexes were prepared and studied using their Crystal packing diagrams and data in order to evaluate $\pi$-overlapping. It is believed that $\pi$-overlapping will occur in complexes with mono BAII substituted complexes and not di-substituted. The first steps have been made in the development of a polymeric BAII complex with the production of an oligomeric BAII (GBAII). The GBAII complex was analysis using a molecular device approach with the use of NMR instrumentation.
