A number of derivatives of the sexidentate bis(oxime-imine) ligand 3,14-dimethyl-4,7,10,13-tetraazahexadeca-3,13-diene-2,15-dione dioxime, Me/sub 2/L(1)H/sub 2/, have been prepared in which the methyl groups on the oxime-imine chromophores are replaced by more bulky phenyl groups, MePhL(1)H/sub 2/ and PhMeL(1)H/sub 2/, or chiral (S) methyl (L(2)) and benzyl (L(3)) groups are attached on the amine backbone at the 5- and 12-positions. Nickel(II) complexes of the ligands can be oxidized to the corresponding nickel(III) and nickel(IV) derivatives, and the effect of changing ligand structure on the reduction potentials of the complexes is small. Self-exchange rate constants for the nickel(IV)/nickel(III) change have been estimated from the rates of the cross-reactions between (Ni/sup III/MePhL(1))/sup +/ and (Ni/sup III/PhMeL(1))/sup +/ and their chiral (5S, 12S)-dimethyl nickel(IV) derivatives to be 8 x 10/sup 5/ and 4 x 10/sup 6/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/, respectively, at 25/sup 0/C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The kinetics and mechanisms of reduction of (Ni/sup IV/MePhL(1))/sup 2 +/ and (Ni/sup IV/PhMeL(1))/sup 2 +/ and (Co(edta))/sup 2 -/ have also been investigated. Stereoselectivity in the oxidation of (Co(edta))/sup 2 -/ by nickel(IV) has been investigated by using these chiral complexes, and in all cases the preferred isomer of the product (Co(edta))/sup -/ is ..delta.. with enantiomeric excesses of 7%, 21%, 22%, and 46% for the complexes (Ni/sup IV/PhMeL(2))/sup 2 +/, (Nk/sup IV/MePhL(2))/sup 2 +/, (Ni/sup IV/Me/sub 2/L(3))/sup 2 +/, and (Ni/sup IV/MePhL(3))/sup 2 +/, respectively. 32 references, 5 figures, 4 tables.
