The title complex, [Ni(C12H11N2O2)2(C3H7NO)2], lies on on an inversion center. The NiII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination enviroment by four O atoms from two bis-chelating 4-acety-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-olate ligands in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two N,N-dimethylformamide ligands in the axial sites. In the weak intermolecular π–π stacking interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7467 (13) Å link molecules into chains extending alongthe b axis.

The title compound was synthesized by dropping a nickel acetate (5m mol) ethanolic solution into an ethanolic solution of 4-acetyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolone-5 (10m mol) and stirring for about 2 h under room temperature. The green blocks which were obtained were dried in air. The product was recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide which afforded crystals suitable for X–ray analysis.
All H atoms were geometrically positioned and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å or 0.98 Å for the methyl H atoms and Uiso(H)= 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
As part of our onging studies of pyrazolone derivatives as potential ligands (Zhu et al., 2005; 2010a,b) we report the structure of the title complex, (I).
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The NiII ion lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and adopts a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment provided by four O atoms from two 4-acety-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)- onato ligands in the equatorial plane two O atoms from two N,N-bimethylformamide ligands in the axial sites. A related complex has previously been published (Shi et al., 2005). In the π–π stacking interactions involving the pyrazole rings, with centroid to centroid distances of 3.7467 (13)Å link molecules into one-dimensional chains (Fig 2).

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. |

As part of our onging studies of pyrazolone derivatives as potential ligands (Zhu et al., 2005; 2010a,b) we report the structure of the title complex, (I).
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The NiII ion lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and adopts a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment provided by four O atoms from two 4-acety-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)- onato ligands in the equatorial plane two O atoms from two N,N-bimethylformamide ligands in the axial sites. A related complex has previously been published (Shi et al., 2005). In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular π–π stacking interactions involving the pyrazole rings, with centroid to centroid distances of 3.7467 (13)Å link molecules into one-dimensional chains (Fig 2).
