The complex mol­ecule of the title compound, [Ni4(C4H10NO2)4Cl4]·CH3OH, consists of a cubane-like {Ni4O4} core in which each nickel(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by one N and four O atoms of three mono-deprotonated diethano­lamine ligands and by a chloride anion. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by intra­molecular O—H⋯Cl bonds. In the crystal structure, complex mol­ecules and methanol solvent mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions.

Comment top

The potential of the nickel(II) was highlighted when a few Ni-containing complexes have been reported for their 'single molecule magnetism' (SMM) behaviour. (Cadiou et al., 2001). We report here the synthesis and structure of the title compound.

In the title complex (Fig. 1), each nickel(II) metal atom is six-coordinated by three µ3-O donors derived from the alkoxide groups of three mono-deprotonated diethanolamine ligands, one hydroxy O and one amine N atom of the same ligand, and by a Cl anion, forming a distorted octahedron. Bond lengths and angles are typical and are comparable with those observed in the related acetonitrile solvate octadecahydrate complexes (Ferguson et al., 2008). The conformation of the complex molecule is stabilized by intramolecular O—H···Cl bonds (Table 1). In the crystal structure, complex molecules and solvent molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H···Cl, N—H···O and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a three-dimensional network.

Experimental top

To a stirred methanol solution (15 ml) of NiCl2.6H2O (2 mmol, 475 mg) was added diethanolamine (4 mmol, 421 mg) in 5 ml methanol. After 10 min NaOAc was added and the mixture stirred for 6 h. The resulting blue solution was filtrated and was allowed to stand at room temperature for about one week, whereupon blue block crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.96-0.97 Å, N—H = 0.91 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(C, O) for methyl and hydroxy H atoms.
