Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C(5)H(5)N(2)O(2)S)(2)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and chelated by two 2-amino-1,3-thia-zole-4-acetate (ata) anions in the basal coordination plane; a water mol-ecule located on the same twofold rotation axis completes the distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, as well as π-π stacking between parallel thia-zole rings [centroid-centroid distance 3.531 (8) Å], helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

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...
