Bis{N′-[1-(2-pyrid­yl)ethyl­idene-κN]benzohydrazidato-κ²N′,O}nickel(II)

In the title complex, [Ni(C₁₄H₁₂N₃O)₂], the Ni^II atom lies at the centre of a distorted octahedron formed by two tridentate hydrazone ligands. Inter­molecular hydrogen bonds of the type C—H...X (X = N, O) link the complexes into a two-dimensional network.

S1. Comment

The title complex adopts a distorted octahedron geometry with two tridentate hydrazone ligands. While the N–Ni–N angle is 174.5 (2)°, which is close to the ideal 180°, the two O–Ni–N angles are much smaller (154.7 (2)° and 153.9 (2)°).

An intramolecular non-classical hydrogen bond of the type C—H···N is present. Non-classical intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type C—H···N and C—H···O also link complexes into a two-dimensional network.

Copper (Sen et al. 2007a)(Sen et al. 2007b), cadmium (Sen et al. 2005), zinc (Ray et al. 2008) and manganese (Ray et al. 2008) complexes of the same ligand have been published.

S2. Experimental

The ligand precursor, [C₆H₅C(O)NHN=C(CH₃)C₅H₄N] (LH) was prepared according to a literature procedure (Sen et al. 2005). To a methanolic solution (20 ml) of nickel chloride hexahydrate (0.237 g, 1.0 mmol), LH (0.478 g, 2 mmol) was added and then kept at room temperature. After a few days, dark brown, rectangular crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were formed. Crystals were collected and dried in the air. Yield: 0.147 g, 62%.

S3. Refinement

All the H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C_aryl—H = 0.93, C_methyl—H = 0.96, Å while U_iso(H) = 1.5 U_eq (C) for the methyl H atoms and 1.2 U_eq (C) for all the other H atoms.

Special details

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.
