Bis{2-ethoxy-6-[2-(isopropylammonio)ethyliminomethyl]phenolato}dithiocyanatonickel(II)

Abstract

In the mononuclear title complex, [Ni(NCS)2(C14H22N2O2)2], the Ni atom lies on an inversion centre. It is chelated by the phenolate O and imine N atoms from two zwitterionic Schiff base ligands, and is also coordinated by the N atoms from two thiocyanate ligands, giving a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Intramolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds are observed.
