Azido{2-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyliminomethyl]-1-naphtholato}nickel(II)

Z. Zhou and Z.-H. Xiao

Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C₁₈H₂₁N₂O)(N₃)], was obtained by the reaction of the Schiff base ligand 2-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyliminomethyl]-1-naphthol with sodium azide and nickel(II) nitrate in methanol solution. The Ni atom is four-coordinated by the N,N,O-donor set of the Schiff base ligand and by the terminal N atom of the azide group, forming a square-planar geometry. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and lies nearly perpendicular to the naphthalene system.
