Abstract

In the solvated title complex, [Ni(C46H47N6O2)]ClO4·2CH4O, the coordination sphere around the NiII ion can be described as distorted cis-NiO2N4 octahedral defined by two phenolate O atoms and four N atoms from the hexadentate ligand. An intramolecular bifurcated N—H...(N,O) hydrogen bond helps to establish the conformation of the complex molecule. In the crystal, the components are connected by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
