Study on novel structure of tris-(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl) Nickel salicylic acid boric acid, Ni(C12H12N2)3●(C7H5O3)2●(H3BO3)

Abstract

A novel complex Ni(C12H12N2)3●(C7H5O3)2●(H3BO3) has been synthesized from a hydrothermal reaction and the crystal structure has been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Triclinic, P-1. a= 12.5380(13) Å, b = 13.0100(15) Å, c = 15.1490(18) Å, α= 102.760(3)°, β= 94.480(2)°, γ= 94.540(2)°. V=2390.9(5) Å3. Z=2. R1 =0.0661, wR2 = 0.2128, T=293(2) K. The Ni atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl molecular. The molecular structure stabilized by the O-H…O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
