Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis{2-[(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)iminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolato}nickel(II) Monoacetonitrile

Abstract

correction was applied. The structure was solved by direct methods (SIR92) and expanded using Fourier techniques. The non-2021 The title compound, [Ni(HL1–NO 2 ) 2 ]·CH 3 CN, [H 2 L1–NO 2 = 2-[2-(hydroxymethylphenyl)iminomethyl]-4-nitrophenol], was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with cell parameters a = 10.556(2)Å, b = 11.779(3)Å, c = 12.247(3)Å, α = 86.412(10) ° , β = 71.135(8) ° , γ = 73.009(8) ° , V = 1377.2(5)Å 3 , D calcd = 1.549 g/cm 3 , Z = 2. The R 1 [ I > 2 σ ( I )] and wR 2 (all data) values are 0.0362 and 0.1024, respectively, for all 5989 independent reflections. The tridentate ligands coordinate to the nickel atom as a mer -manner.
