Bis{2-[2-(isopropylammonio)ethyliminomethyl]-6-methoxyphenolato}nickel(II) dithiocyanate

H.-B. Ma, Y.-X. Jiang and J.-T. Lei

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni(C₁₃H₂₀N₂O₂)₂](NCS)₂, consists of a centrosymmetric mononuclear four-coordinate nickel(II) complex cation and two thiocyanate anions. The Ni atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by two phenol O atoms and two imine N atoms from two equivalent Schiff base ligands, in a square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, the amino H atoms are involved in N-HO hydrogen bonds with the phenol and methoxy O atoms of the ligand, and in N-HN hydrogen bonds with the N atoms of the thiocyanate anions, which sit above and below the Ni atom.
