Crystal structure of [2-({2-[(2-azanidyl-benzyl-idene)amino]-benzyl-idene}amino)-4-chloro-phenol-ato]nickel(II).

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Ni(C20H14ClN3O)], with an asymmetrically chloride-appended Schiff base ligand has been synthesized and structurally characterized at 100?K. In the compound, the central nickel(II) ion has a square-planar coordination geometry with N3O donors of the ?-conjugated tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand. In the crystal, the complexes are connected into an inversion dimer via an Ni?Ni inter-action [3.1753?(5)?Å] and a pair of ?-? inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8416?(16)?Å]. The dimers are linked via a C-H?Cl hydrogen bond, forming a chain along the c-axis direction. The dimer chains inter-act with each other through ?-? inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8736?(16)?Å], forming a layer expanding parallel to the ac plane.
