Crystal structure oftrans-(1,8-dibutyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexaazacyclotetradecane-κ⁴N³,N⁶,N¹⁰,N¹³)bis(thiocyanato-κN)nickel(II) from synchrotron data

Abstract

The NiII atom in the title compound, bonded to four N atoms of the aza­macrocylic ligand and two N atoms of the thio­cyanate ions, shows a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b-axis direction.
