Diaquabis{2,4-dibromo-6-[2-(isopropylammonio)ethyliminomethyl]phenolato}nickel(II) dichloride hemihydrate

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 293 K; mean (C-C) = 0.009 Å; disorder in solvent or counterion; R factor = 0.050; wR factor = 0.126; data-toparameter ratio = 15.7.The title complex, [Ni(C 12 H 16 consists of a centrosymmetric mononuclear nickel(II) complex cation, two symmetry-related chloride anions and a halfoccupancy water molecule. The Ni atom, lying on an inversion centre, is six-coordinated by two phenol O atoms, two imine N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and the O atoms from two water molecules, forming an octahedral geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis. metal-organic compounds
