Di--azido-⁴N:N-bis[(azido-N)(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')nickel(II)]

L.-L. Li and T.-F. Liu

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni₂(N₃)₄(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)₂], is a centrosymmetric dimer in which each Ni^II atom is coordinated by five N atoms (two from a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two from the bridging azide group and one from the terminal azide) in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The NiNi distance is 3.2532 (9) Å. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into one-dimensional chains by C-HN hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions [- interaction distance = 3.6215 (16) Å].
