The Schiff base condensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with aniline, p-methoxyaniline and benzylamine gives high yields of 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis (arylimines). Complexation of 2,6-diacetylpyridinebis (anil) with nickel (II) and zinc (II) to form five- and six-coordinate complexes of the types MCl2·L and [ML2] (C104)2 illustrates the versatility of these new terdentate NNN donor ligands.
