INTRODUCTIONElectrochemical technique in inorganic synthesis is highly selective in terms of potential, current density, electrode material and electrolyte composition for controlling the reaction rate. Electro synthesis is not only the oldest but also the simplest method for the synthesis of coordination compounds starting from the zero-valent metal. Electrochemical methods employ simple machinery and pure starting materials. The fact that the metal is employed rather than one of its salts avoids the occurrence of competitive reactions between the anion salts and the ligand to coordinate to the metal ion. Moreover, this approach allows the selective transformation of specific groups in a ligand or in a complex under very mild conditions. In the last several decades, contributions of electrochemical technique are of interest not only to inorganic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Direct anodic dissolution of nickel metal and cathodic reduction of carboxylic acids (RCOOH) in acetonitrile has proved to be a simple and efficient one-step route to synthesize unique polymeric nickel(II) carboxylate complexes, {Ni(OOCR)2}n in H-type glass Pyrex cell. When the oxidation was carried out in the presence of neutral ligands (L) such as 2,2'-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline, the complexes of type {Ni(OOCR)2.L}n were obtained. Tetrabutylammonium chloride has been used as a supporting electrolyte in order to increase the electrolytic conductivity of the electrochemical system which in turn affects the current efficiency, cell voltage and energy consumption in the electrolytic cell. The complexes have been characterized by vibrational spectra, CHN elemental analysis, solubility and melting points shows a good agreement with the structure. The result also shows that the direct electrochemical synthetic technique has high current efficiency, extra purity and yield.
