Bis{2-(5-hydroxy-2-[1-(hydroxyimino)ethyl]phenolato-κ2O1,N}nickel(II) N,N-dimethylformamide disolvate

Abstract

The Ni atom of the title complex, [Ni(C8H8NO3)2]·2C3H7NO, lies on a center of inversion in a square-planar N2O2 coordination environment. An intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond exists between the oximic hydroxy group of one ligand and the metal-coordinated O atom of the symmetry-related ligand. The dimethylformamide solvent molecules are connected to the phenolate groups of the complex via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
