Bis[4-bromo-2-(ethyliminomethyl)phenolato-κ2N,O]nickel(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Ni(C9H9BrNO)2], the NiII ion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry by two N atoms and two O atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate 4-bromo-2-(ethyliminomethyl)phenolate ligands. The complex forms a one-dimensional chain in the crystal structure through short C—H...Br contacts (H...Br = 3.009 Å).
