This review summarizes the structural characteristics and magnetic properties of trinuclear complexes containing the NiII-LnIII-NiII moiety and also oligonuclear complexes and coordination polymers containing the same trinuclear moiety. The ligands used are mainly polydentate Schiff base ligands and reduced Schiff base ligands and, in some cases, oximato, β-diketonato, pyridyl ketone ligands and others. The compounds reported are restricted to those containing one, two and three oxygen atoms as bridges between the metal ions; examples of carboxylato and oximato bridging are also included due to structural similarity. The magnetic properties of the complexes range from ferro- to antiferromagnetic depending on the nature of the lanthanide ion.

An N2O donor reduced Schiff base in presence of Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O and SCN− transforms into N2O2 donor ligand via deaminative coupling. Metal complexes 1 and 3 exhibit catecholase like activity and antiferromagnetic coupling between the Ni(ii) ions.

Three trinuclear Ni(II)-Na(I) complexes,[Ni2(L1)2NaCl3(H2O)]·H2O (1), [Ni2(L2)2NaCl3(H2O)] (2), and [Ni2(L3)2NaCl3(OC4H10)] (3) have been synthesized using three different NNO donor tridentate reduced Schiff base ligands, HL1= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-phenol, HL2= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-4-chloro-phenol, and HL3= 2-[(3-methylamino-propylamino)-methyl]-6-methoxy-phenol that had been structurally characterized. Among these complexes, 1 and 2 are isostructural in which dinuclearNi(II) units act as metalloligands to bind Na(I) ions via phenoxido and chlorido bridges. The Na(I) atom is five-coordinated, and the Ni(II) atom possesses hexacordinated distorted octahedral geometry. In contrast, in complex 3, two -OMe groups from the dinuclear Ni(II) unit also coordinate to Na(I) to make its geometry heptacordinated pentagonal bipyramidal. The magnetic measurements of complexes 1–3 indicate ferromagnetic interactions between dimeric Ni(II) units with J = 3.97 cm−1, 4.66 cm−1, and 5.50 cm−1for 1–3, respectively, as is expected from their low phenoxido bridging angles (89.32°, 89.39°, and 87.32° for 1–3, respectively). The J values have been calculated by broken symmetry DFT method and found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.
