Abstract:
In the title complex, [Ni(C(26)H(22)N(2)O(4))], the Ni(II) atom has a slight distortion toward tetra-hedral geometry from a square-planar structure, coordinated by two O and two N atoms of the tetra-dentate salen-type bis-oxime 2,2'-[1,1'-(ethyl-enedioxy-dinitrilo)diethyl-idyne]di-1-naphtholate (L(2-)) unit, with a mean deviation of 0.022 Å from the N(2)O(2) plane. The N- and O-donor atoms are mutually cis. The dihedral angle between two naphthalene systems of the L(2-) ligand is 67.59 (4)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, which link neighbouring mol-ecules into extended chains along the b axis.

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...
