Elemental analyses were performed on a Vario ELII elemental analyzer. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer using Hg[Co(SCN)4] as a calibrant.the IR spectrum was recorded on a Thermo Nicolet AVATAR 370 DTGS FTIR spectrometer using KBr pellets in the range 4000-400 cm-1 and far IR spectrum was recorded in the range 500-50 cm-1 on a Nicolet Magna 550 FT-IR spectrophotometer using polyethylene pellets. Electronic spectra were recorded on a GENESYSTM 10 Series spectrophotometer in DMF solvent. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were carried out using CrysAlis CCD diffractometer.Ni(OAc)2-4H2O (Central drug house) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (Ranbaxy fine chemicals) were uisd. Solvents were purified by distillation
