N3)bis(propane-1,2-diamine-
2N,N')nickel(II)The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(pht)2(pn)2] (pht is 5,5-diphenylhydantoinate and pn is propane-1,2-diamine) or [Ni(C15H11N2O2)2(C3H10N2)2], contains one-half [Ni(pht)2(pn)2] molecule. The NiII atom is situated on a crystallographic center of inversion and shows a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. A three-dimensional network structure is assembled by inter- and intramolecular N-H
O=C interactions.
To a solution of Hpht (1.00 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added Ni(OAc)2 × 4 H2O (0.5 mmol) and a solution of propane-1,2-diamine (1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml). Then the mixture was sealed in a 25 ml PTFE-lined stainless steel autoclave and heated to 423 K for 40 h, the fill rate being 80%. After cooling to room temperature, purple single crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation from the filtrate. Analysis, calculated for C36H42N8NiO4: C 61.66, H 6.01, N 16.26; found: C 60.94, H 5.97, N 15.78%.
The space group was assigned from the systematic absences. All H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with N—H = 0.86–0.89 Å and Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq(N), and C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl), 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.98 Å (methyne) and 0.93 Å (aryl), respectively, with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 Ueq(C) (methylene, methyne, aryl) or 1.5 Ueq(C) (methyl).

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. |

5,5-Diphenylimidazoline-2,4-dione (Hpht) is a widely used drug in the treatment of epilepsy. It should also be an excellent ligand for transition metal complexes (Milne et al.,1999; Akitsu et al.,1997; Akitsu & Einaga, 2005). We have therefore designed and synthesized a series of complexes with 5,5-diphenylhydantoinato ligands (Hu et al., 2006a).
The title compound (Fig. 1) consists of a neutral [Ni(pht)2(pn)2] complex molecule. The nickel atom is situated at the crystallographic center of inversion and is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms from two pht ligands and four nitrogen atoms from two pn ligands. The metal atom therefore adopts a distorted octahedral NiN6 coordination environment with a dihedral angle of 86.9 (1)° between N3—N3A—N4A—N4 and the hydantoin ring and dihedral angles between N3—N3A—N4A—N4 and the pht groups of 51.7 (1)° (C4 to C9) and 39.0 (1)° (C10 to C15), respectively. The Ni—N bond distances lie in the range of 2.096 (2) Å to 2.125 (2) Å. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1) serve to stabilize the octahedral geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds along the crystallographic a axis. A similar hydrogen-bonding pattern is also found in the above-mentioned related complexes. The complex shows a three-dimensional network structure assembled by additional intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the diamine ligand and the hydantoin ring.
