Bis[1-(2-hydroxyethyliminomethyl)-2-naphtholato-²N,O]nickel(II)

H.-Y. Liu, F. Gao, Z.-S. Lu and H.-Y. Wang

Abstract: The title nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C₁₃H₁₂NO₂)₂], has been synthesized by the reaction of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-ethanolamine with Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O. The asymmetric unit consists of half each of two independent molecules which have similar geometries, with the Ni atom of each of the two neutral complex molecules lying on an inversion centre. The coordination geometry around each Ni atom is square planar, with the two bidentate chelate Schiff base ligands coordinated through their imine N and phenol O atoms in a mutually trans configuration. The hydroxy O atoms do not coordinate to the Ni atom.
