The structure of the title complex consists of isolated [Ni(C11H14N3O2)2] units. The Ni atom is coordinated by four oxime N atoms in distorted square-planar geometry and lies on an inversion centre. The structure is stabilized by strong intramolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a possible N—H⋯π intermolecular interaction.
Comment
This work is part of our ongoing research on the synthesis and characterization of new vic-dioximes and their transition metal complexes (Zülfikaroglu et al., 2003). Metal complexes of various glyoximate ligands have long been of importance in analytical chemistry and medicine (Chakravorty, 1974; Michael et al., 2000).
In the title compound, (I), alternately named bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminomethylglyoximato-N,N′]nickel(II) (Fig. 1), the Ni atom, which lies on a site of symmetry, is coordinated by four oxime N atoms arising from two bidentate ligand molecules. The local coordination of the NiN4 chromophore is distorted square planar (D2h symmetry). The Ni—N and O1⋯O2i distances (Tables 1 and 2; symmetry code as in these tables) are similar to the distances found in the related complexes bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminoglyoximato-N,N′]nickel(II) (Ülkü et al., 1996), bis[N-(4-methylphenyl)aminoglyoximato-N,N′]nickel(II) (Isik et al., 2000), bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminophenylglyoximato-κ2N,N′]nickel(II) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate (Batı et al., 2004) and bis[N-(4-methoxyphenyl)aminomethylglyoximato]nickel(II) (Batı et al., 2005). In these, one Ni—N bond is significantly longer than the other (by between 0.02 and 0.05 Å). This difference can possibly be attributed to the different groups attached to oxime atoms C9 and C10.
The different N—O bond lengths reflect the chemically distinct O atoms. The oxime group has an E configuration with planar O1—N2—C9—C10. The oxime OH group is adjacent to the bridging amine group in all complexes, and in (I) accepts an intraligand N—H⋯O bond. The benzene and five-membered chelate (NiC2N2) rings in (I) are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of only 0.0045 and 0.0159 Å.
Comparision of the bond lengths of the oxime group with those of the free ligand (Hökelek et al., 2001) reveals that, upon complex formation, the N2—O1, N3—O2 and C9—C10 distances are shortened by 0.040, 0.078 and 0.018 Å, respectively, whereas the C9—N2 and C10—N3 distances are increased by 0.013 and 0.028 Å, respectively.
The intramolecular inter-ligand O⋯O separations in these compounds are all similar, lying between 2.462 (3) and 2.547 (3) Å. Such short O⋯O separations are often associated with symmetrical O⋯H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Chakravorty, 1974). In (I), one of the O-bound acidic H atoms is lost from each ligand during complex formation and the remaining O-bound H atom participates in a very strong intramolecular hydrogen bond to the adjacent O atom (Table 2). The H atom was clearly visible in a difference map and, like the other complexes noted above, the O—H⋯O bond is not symmetrical.
An analysis of the intermolecular contacts in (I) with PLATON (Spek, 2003) revealed a possible weak N—H⋯π(−x, 1 − y, 2 − z) interaction between the amine H atom and an adjacent benzene ring (atoms C1–C6) with an H⋯π distance of 2.965 (16) Å.
Experimental
1-(2,6-Dimethylphenylamino)propane-1,2-dione dioxime (L) was prepared according to the method of Hökelek et al. (2001). A solution of NiCl2·6H2O (0.48 g. 2 mmol) in ethanol–water (1:1) was added dropwise to a solution of L (0.882 g. 4 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml). A 1% solution of KOH in water was then dripped slowly into the mixture until the pH reached 5.5. The resulting precipitate was removed by suction filtration, washed and dried in vacuo. Recrystallization from a chloroform–ethanol mixture (2:1) gave orange rod crystals of (I).

Refinement

|
The O- and N-bound H atoms were found in difference maps and were refined with distance restraints [O—H = 0.84 (2) Å and N—H = 0.86 (2) Å] and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier). C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(carrier) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl carrier). The –CH3 groups were rotated to fit the electron density.

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. |

This work is part of our ongoing research on the synthesis and characterization of new vic dioximes and their transition metal complexes (Zülfikaroglu et al., 2003). Metal complexes of various glyoximate ligands have long been of importance in analytical chemistry and medicine (Chakravorty, 1974; Michael et al., 2000). In the title compound, (I), alternately named bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminomethylglyoximato-N,N']nickel(II) (Fig. 1), the Ni atom that lies on a site of −1 symmetry, is coordinated by four oxime N atoms arising from two bidentate ligand molecules. The local coordination of the NiN4 chromophore is distorted square planar (D2h symmetry). The Ni—N and O1···O2i distances (Tables 1 and 2) are similar to the distances found in the related complexes bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminoglyoximato-N,N']nickel(II) (Ulku et al., 1996), bis[N-(4-methylphenyl) aminoglyoximato-N,N ']nickel(II) (Isik et al., 2000), bis[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminophenylglyoximato-κ2N,N']nickel(II) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate (Batı et al., 2004) and bis[N-(4-methoxyphenyl)aminomethylglyoximato]nickel(II) (Batı et al., 2005). In these, one Ni—N bond is significantly longer than the other (by between 0.02 and 0.05 Å). This difference can possibly be attributed to the different groups attached to oxime atoms C9 and C10. The intramolecular, inter-ligand, O···O separations in these compounds are all similar, lying between 2.462 (3) and 2.547 (3) Å. Such short O···O separations are often associated with symmetrical O···H···O hydrogen bonds (Chakravorty, 1974). In (I), one of the O-bound acidic H atoms is lost from each ligand during complex formation and the remaining O-bound H atom participates in a very strong intramolecular hydrogen bond to the adjacent O atom (Table 2). The H atom was clearly visible in a difference map and, like the other complexes noted above, the O—H···O bond is not symmetrical. The different N—O bond lengths reflect the chemically distinct O atoms. The oxime group has an E configuration with planar O1—N2—C9—C10. The oxime –OH group is adjacent to the bridging amine group in all complexes, and in (I) accepts an intraligand N—H···O bond. The phenyl and five-membered chelate (NiC2N2) rings in (I) are almost planar, with r.m.s deviations of 0.0045 and 0.0159 Å only.
Comparision of the bond lengths of the oxime group with those of the free ligand (Hökelek et al., 2001) reveals that, upon complex formation, the N2—O1, N3—O3 and C9—C10 distances are shortened by 0.040, 0.078 and 0.018 Å, whereas the C9—N2 and C10—N3 distances are increased by 0.013 and 0.028 Å.
An analysis of the inter-molecular contacts in (I) with PLATON (Spek, 2003) reveals a possible weak N—H···π(−x, 1 − y, 2 − z) interaction between the amine H atom and an adjacent phenyl ring (atoms C1–C6) with an H···π distance of 2.965 (16) Å.
