A bis(1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionato)nickel(II) adduct with 3-aminopyridine

D.-K. Bucar and E. Mestrovic

Abstract: In the adduct bis(1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate)bis(3-aminopyridine)nickel(II), [Ni(C₁₀H₉O₂)₂(C₅H₆N₂)₂], the Ni^II atom lies on a crystallographic center of symmetry. The coordination geometry around the Ni^II atom is distorted octahedral. Four O atoms of two 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate ligands form the equatorial plane, with Ni-O distances in the range 2.0160  (14)-2.0338  (14)  Å. The axial positions are occupied by N atoms of two 3-aminopyridine ligands. The adduct molecules translated by one unit along the a axis are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains.
