Figure 3
A view on the intermolecular interactions formed by the benzene, cyclohexyl and chelate rings in the crystal structures of [Ni(LI)2] and [Cu(LI)2] (50% atomic displacement ellipsoids are shown for the non-hydrogen atoms of the interacted fragments). Hydrogen atoms not involved in the interactions are omitted for clarity. Colour code: H = black, C = gold, N = blue, O = red, M = green, a C—H⋯π(benzene) interaction = cyan dashed line, a C—H⋯π(chelate) interaction = green dashed line, a centroid of the benzene ring = cyan ball, a centroid of the chelate ring = green ball, a centroid of the cyclohexyl ring = yellow ball. |
