Poly[(dimethylformamide)(μ4-2,2′-sulfanediyldibenzoato)nickel(II)]
Abstract
The title centrosymmetric dinuclear NiII complex, [Ni(C14H8O4S)(C3H7NO)]n, was prepared via reaction of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and thiosalicylic acid, with H2O and dimethylformamide (DMF) as the mixed solvent. The central NiII ion is five-coordinated by five O atoms from DMF and from the carboxylate groups of the organic ligand. The symmetry-related coordination polyhedra interlink into centrosymmetric dimeric units and these, in turn, are linked into infinite chains propagating parallel to [100].
