[N,N'-Ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)]nickel(II) dimethylformamide solvate

M. Lutz

Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₂)]·C₃H₇NO, crystallizes with one Ni(salen) molecule [salen is N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminate)] and one dimethylformamide molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular structure is similar to that of the solvent-free compound, known from the literature. In the crystal structure, the nearly planar molecules are stacked to form polymeric chains in the crystallographic b direction. The crystal structure has pseudo-translational symmetry (superstructure).
