The title complex, [Ni2(C14H8N2O4)(C5H5N)6]·2C5H5N, is a polymorph of a previously reported compound [Chen & Liu (2005). Chin. J. Inorg. Chem. 21, 15-20]. The 1,2-disalicyloylhydrazine ligand lies on an inversion center and coordinates to two NiII atoms. Each NiII atom is octahedrally coordinated by a phenolate O atom, a carbonyl O atom and a hydrazine N atom of the ligand and three pyridine N atoms.
A solution of Ni(CH3CO2)2.H2O (0.100 g, 0.4 mmol) in methanol (10 ml)
was added to the mixture of 1,2-disalicyloylhydrazine (0.054 g, 0.2 mmol) and
sodium hydroxide (0.032 g, 0.8 mmol) in pyridine (10 ml). A red solution was
generated after stirring for 2 h at room temperature. The solution was allowed
to stand for 2 weeks, whereupon red needle crystals were obtained (0.070 g,
yield 34%).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with
C—H = 0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.

Recently, we have synthesized two metallacrowns using N-acyl-3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarbohydrazide (Dou et al., 2006). As an extension of our work on the structural characterization of naphthalenecarbohydrazide compounds, the title complex, (I), was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
The complex (I) (space group I41/a) is a polymorph of the compound (space group P21/c) previously reported by Chen & Liu (2005), with the same formula [Ni2(C14H8N2O4)(C5H5N)6].2C5H5N. The complex molecule of (I) lies on an inversion center (Fig. 1). The 1,2-disalicyloylhydrazine molecule acts as a hexadentate tetravalent anionic ligand linking two NiII atoms. The iminophenolate group (O2 and N1) and the iminoacyl group (O1i and N1; symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, -y, -z) of the ligand are coordinated to the Ni1 atom to form six-membered and five-membered chelating rings, respectively, with a dihedral angle of 1.7 (4)°. Besides the above three atoms coordinated to the Ni1 atom, there are other three pyridine N atoms bonded to the Ni1 atom. So the coordination geometry of the Ni1 atom can be described as an N4O2 octahedron. As shown in Table 1, the axial Ni—N distances are longer than the equatorial Ni—N and Ni—O distances, which shows the NiII atom in a distorted octahedral geometry. This typical Jahn-Teller elongation has been observed in the other complexes (Kwak et al., 2000).
