N]nickel(II) diperchlorate ethanol disolvateIn the title compound, [Ni(C10H9N3)4](ClO4)2·2C2H5OH, the metal centre exhibits a four-coordinated environment with four pyridine N atoms of the four different dipyridylamine ligands. A twofold rotation axis passes through the Ni atom. N-H
O and N-H
N hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.
NiClO4 (0.027 g, 0.013 mmol), L (0.025 g, 0.014 mmol) were added in a solvent of methanol, the mixture was heated for 6 h under reflux. During the process stirring and influx were required. The resultant was then filtered to give a pure solution which was infiltrated by diethyl ether freely in a closed vessel, Two weeks later some single crystals of the size suitable for X-Ray diffraction analysis.
The H atoms (pyridine ring) were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

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. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, the rational design and assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well regulated network structures have received remarkable attention in order to develop new functional materials with potential applications (Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to predict the exact structures and compositions of polymeric compounds assembled in a helical motif, although some structures with various helices have been reported in MOFs. So far, much of the research has been concentrated on the exploitation of angular ligands with a molecular angle, such as ligands with a T-shape, V-shape etc, in the construction of versatile coordination polymer architectures (Gudbjartson et al., 1999; Su et al., 2003, Zhou et al., 2006). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title complex with a V-shaped ligand,(I).
As shown in Fig. 1, the complex I is located twofold axis via the 2,3'-dipyridylamine (L) ligands. That I is a neutral, mononuclear molecule with the Ni(II) atom in a square coordination geometry with four pyridine nitrogen atoms of the four different L ligands. The Ni—N bond lengths range from 2.013 (2) to 2.019 (2)Å (Table1), and the N(1)—Ni—N(4) angle is 179.09 (11)°, it can be seen that the Ni(II) ions together with the four nitrogen atoms form a perfect square geometry, and this ideal quadrangle structure is rare in the coordination geometry of Ni(II) atom. Four L ligands present monodenate fashion. Two O atoms of the uncoordinated ClO4 anions form the acceptors of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and weak interactions, which link the discrete units to form a two-dimensional supramolecular structure. The ethanol molecule present in I only functioned as an acceptor of intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of ethonal and amino nitrogen atoms of the ligand (Table 2), which stabilize the extended structure.
