Tris(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole-κN3)(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O2,N,O6)nickel(II)

Abstract

The title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C7H3NO4)(C9H10N2)3], shows a central NiII atom which is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms and the N atom from a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligand and by three N atoms from different 5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal structure shows intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
