Abstract: In this paper, we use four-dimensional quaternionic algebra to describing space-time field equations in curvature form. The transformation relations of a quaternionic variable are established with the help of basis transformations of quaternion algebra. We deduced the quaternionic covariant derivative that explains how the quaternion components vary with scalar and vector fields.The quaternionic metric tensor and geodesic equation are also discussed to describing the quaternionic line element in curved space-time. Moreover, we discussed an expression for the Riemannian Christoffel curvature tensor in terms of the quaternionic metric tensor. We have deduced the quaternionic form of Einstein-field-like equation which shows an equivalence between quaternionic matter and geometry.
