Abstract:
In the title complex, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(17)H(20)N(4))], the Ni(2+) ion (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by the N,N,N,N-tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and two thio-cyanate ligands, forming a distorted NiN(6) octa-hedral geometry, with the thio-cyanate N atoms in a trans orientation. The pendant methyl group of the central propane-1,2-diamine fragment of the ligand is statistically disordered over two sets of positions. In the crystal, weak aromatic π-π stacking between pyridine rings [centroid-centroid separation = 3.7081 (17) Å] may help to establish the packing.

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...
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...
