Bis{2-[(2-hy-droxy-2-methyl-prop-yl)imino-meth-yl]-4-nitro-phenolato}nickel(II) dimethyl-formamide monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Ni(C(11)H(13)N(2)O(4))(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, the Ni(II) ion is octa-hedrally coordinated in an N(2)O(4) environment by two identical Schiff base ligands. The Ni-O bond lengths range from 2.004?(2) to 2.106?(2)?Å, while the Ni-N bond lengths are 2.038?(2) and 2.0465?(19)?Å. The cis bond angles range from 78.64?(8) to 97.30?(8)°, with the former being due to the small bite of the amino-alcohol ligand, while the trans bond angles range from 167.86?(8) to 171.23?(8)°. One of the alcohol H atoms forms a hydrogen bond with the dimethyl-formamide (DMF) solvent mol-ecule, while the other links mol-ecules into chains along the b axis through inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds. There are bifurcated C-H?O inter-actions involving one of the nitro groups between parallel stacks of mol-ecules in the b-axis direction.
