mer-Bis(quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde 4-ethylthiosemicarbazonato)nickel(II) methanol 0.33-solvate 0.67-hydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C13H13N4S)2]·0.33CH3OH·0.67H2O, the NiII atom is coordinated by two tridentate quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde 4-ethylthiosemicarbazonate ligands in a distorted octahedral shape. At 100 K, the crystal symmetry is monoclinic (space group P21/n). A mixture of water and methanol crystallizes with the title complex, and one of the ethyl groups in the coordinating ligands is disordered over two positions, with an occupancy ratio of 58:42. There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the solvent molecules and the amine and thiolate groups in the ligands. No other significant interactions are present in the crystal packing.
