Diaquabis(2,2′-bi-1H-imidazole-κ²N³,N^3′)nickel(II) bis(3-methylbenzoate) 3-methylbenzoic acid disolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C6H6N4)2(H2O)2](C8H7O2)2·2C8H8O2, the NiII atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,N′-bidentate 2,2′-biimidazole ligands and two water mol­ecules, resulting in a slightly distorted trans-NiO2N4 geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal, the components are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating an infinite two-dimensional network running parallel to (100). The methyl group of the benzoic acid mol­ecule is disordered over two sites in a 0.563 (17):0.437 (17) ratio.

Structural, Electrochemical, DNA Binding and Cleavage Properties of Nickel(II) Complex [Ni(H2biim)2(H2O)2]2+of 2,2'-Biimidazole

“…[20][21][22] Even though there are some reported complexes of biimidazole already available the nickel complex with perchlorate ion is not yet reported. The crystal structure obtained in this paper has dimeric structure and differs from those reported earlier with Crystal structure show extensive intermolecular noncovalent interactions involving the axial aqua ligand, lattice anion and the biimidazole.…”
