Comment top

Thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes have attracted significant attention because of their wide-ranging biological and pharmacological properties, analytical applications, specific structures, and chemical properties (Cowley et al., 2002; Ming, 2003; Lobana et al., 2007; Lobana et al., 2004). In this paper we report the crystal structure of bis{N-ethyl-2-[2-(hydroxyimino-κN)butan-2-ylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide-κ²N²,S}nickle(II)dichloride.

In the mononuclear title complex (Fig. 1), [Ni(C₇H₁₄N₄OS)₂]Cl₂, the nickel(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four N atoms from two imine groups and two oxime groups and two S atoms from two thione groups. The Ni—N and Ni—S bond distances (Table 1) and the bond angles around Ni1 are in agreement with the values found for related Ni(II) complex (Choi et al., 2008). Bond lengths and angles observed in the structure are normal (Allen et al., 1987). Ni1 is a meeting-point of four five-membered rings, namely: A (Ni1/S1/N2/N3/C9), B ((Ni1/S2/N6/N7/C12), C ((Ni1/N1/N2/C1/C2) and D ((Ni1/N5/N6/C5/C6).The dihedral angles between these four rings as follows: A/B = 87.11 (5)°, A/C = 4.37 (6)°, A/D = 88.83 (6)°, B/C = 88.55 (6)°, B/D = 4.26 (6)° and C/D = 86.88 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked through intermolecular N4—H1N4···Cl1, O2—H1O2···Cl1, N7—H1N7···Cl2, N3—H1N3···Cl1, O1—H1O1···Cl2 and N8—H1N8···Cl2 hydrogen bonds (Table 2) into infinite chains propagating along [101] (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The ligand was prepared by the mixing of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (1.01 g) dissolved in 20 ml of EtOH with 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (1.19 g) dissolved in 20 ml of EtOH and a few drops of acetic acid. The mixture was boiled under reflux with stirring for 3 h. The mixture was filtered and left to cool and evaporate the solvent at room temperature and the resulting white solid formed was collected by suction filtration and washed with cold EtOH (yield 66%, m.p. 475.2 - 477.2 K). To a solution of the ligand (0.2021 g) in EtOH (20 ml) was added a solution of (NiCl₂.6H₂O) (0.2377 g) in EtOH (20 ml). The mixture was boiled under reflux for 2 h with stirring. The mixture was filtered and left to cool accompanied by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature. The brown crystals were grown in DMF-acetone (1:4) mixture by slow evaporation at room temperature for 2 weeks (yield 45%, m.p. 513.9 K).

Special details top

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.
