Bis{1-[3-(cyclohexylaminio)propyliminomethyl]-2-naphtholato}nickel(II) dichloride 1.24-hydrate

Abstract

The title complex, [Ni(C20H26N2O)2]Cl2·1.24H2O, is a mononuclear nickel(II) compound. The NiII atom, lying on an inversion centre, is four‐coordinated in a square‐planar geometry by two imine N and two phenolate O atoms from two Schiff bases.

“…Nickel(II) complexes derived from Schiff base ligands have received much attention in coordination chemistry related to catalysis and enzymatic reactions, magnetism and coordination diversity (Di Bella et al, 1994;Lacroix et al, 1996;Averseng et al, 1999;Wang, 2005;Fun et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2005). As a further investigation of the structures of such complexes, the title compound, (I), a new mononuclear nickel(II) complex, is reported here.…”
