[4-Bromo-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)aniline-κ2N,N′]bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dionato-κ2O,O′)nickel(II)
Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(C5HF6O2)2(C12H9BrN2)], the NiII atom exhibits a pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry. The structure packs through C—H...Br interactions, forming a hydrogen-bonded ladder. There are also strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between two of the O atoms of the β-diketonate ligands and two H atoms on the pyridine ring of the Schiff base ligand.
