The products obtained by the reactions of Ni(OAc) 2 Á4H 2 O with Hpot (Hpot = 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione) and [K(H 2 fchc)] (potassium N 0 -(furan-2-carbonyl) hydrazine carbodithioate), on treatment with excess of ethylenediamine (en), gave mixed ligand complexes [Ni(pot) 2 (en) 2 ] (1) and [Ni(fot) 2 (en) 2 ] (2) (fot = 5-furan-(1,3,4)-oxadiazole-2-thione). These complexes have been characterized with the aid of elemental analyses, IR, magnetic susceptibility and single crystal X-ray studies. In both complexes, the heterocyclic ligand coordinates through oxadiazole nitrogen, and the ligand exists as the thione form. The complexes 1 and 2 have distorted octahedral geometries around the centrosymmetric Ni(II) center with trans oxadiazole ligands. Both complexes show extended hydrogen bonding to give a supramolecular framework.
