Bis{2-formyl-4-methyl-6-[(tri-2-pyridyl-meth-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato}nickel(II)
Abstract:
The title compound, [Ni(C(25)H(19)N(4)O(2))(2)], which was obtained by the reaction of nickel(II) perchlorate with 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl-phenol and (tri-2-pyridylmeth-yl)amine in methanol solution, is a discrete monometallic complex. The Ni(II) atom is six-coordinated by the phenolate O, imine N and pyridine N atoms from two tridentate Schiff base ligands in a distorted NiN(4)O(2) octa-hedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the noncoordinated pyridyl rings of each ligand are 72.95 (8) and 69.59 (7)°.

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...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
