Crystal structure of dibromidotetrakis(propan-2-ol-κO)nickel(II)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the mononuclear title complex, [NiBr2(C3H8O)4], comprises a NiII cation located on a centre of inversion, one Br− anion and two propan-2-ol ligands. The NiII cation exhibits a distorted trans-Br2O4 environment. There are O—H...Br hydrogen bonds connecting neighbouring molecules into rows along [100]. These rows are arranged in a distorted hexagonal packing and are held together by van der Waals forces only.
