Crystal structure of bis(acetophenone 4-benzoylthiosemicarbazonato-κ²N¹,S)nickel(II)

Abstract

In [Ni(C16H14N3OS)2], the nickel ion is tetra­coordinated in a square-planar geometry by two independent mol­ecules of the ligand which act as mononegative bidentate N,S-donors and form two five-membered chelate rings. Close approach of hydrogen atoms to Ni2+ suggests anagostic inter­actions (Ni⋯H—C) are present.
