Diaqua-bis(N,N-diethyl-nicotinamide-κN)bis-[4-(dimethyl-amino)benzoato-κO]nickel(II)
Abstract:
The centrosymmetric title Ni(II) complex, [Ni(C(9)H(10)NO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], contains two dimethyl-amino-benzoate (DMAB), two diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands and two water mol-ecules, all of them monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Ni(II) atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination is completed by the two pyridine N atoms of the DENA ligands in axial positions. The Ni(II) atom is displaced by 0.681 (1) Å out of the least-squares plane of the carboxyl-ate group. The dihedral angle between the carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 5.61 (7)°, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 73.20 (4)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a six-membered ring with a twisted conformation. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. Two weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
