(meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)nickel(II) bis[O,O′-bis(4-methylphenyl) thiophosphate]

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C16H36N4)](C14H14O3PS)2, the NiII ion is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms within a slightly distorted NiN4O2 octahedral geometry. The asymmetric unit consits of one NiII ion that is located on a center of inversion, half of the macrocylic ligand and one anion occupying general positions. Intramolecular N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonding is found between the macrocyclic ligand and the monothiophosphate anion.
