Abstract:
In the title Schiff base complex, [Ni(C(24)H(22)N(2)O(4))], the Ni(II) atom shows a square-planar geometry. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the two outer rings are 4.79 (15) and 7.54 (15)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, resulting in chains extending along the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.3760 (15)-3.7196 (17) Å.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
