Bis{4-methylbenzyl 2-4-(propan-2-yl)benzyl­idenehydrazine­carbodi­thio­ato-κ2N2S}nickel(II): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

摘要

The complete mol­ecule of the title hydrazine carbodi­thio­ate complex, [Ni(C19H21N2S2)2], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The Ni^II atom is N,S-chelated by two hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate ligands, which provide a trans-N2S2 donor set that defines a distorted square-planar geometry. The conformation of the five-membered chelate ring is an envelope with the Ni^II atom being the flap atom. In the crystal, p-tolyl-C—H⋯π(benzene-ⁱPr), ⁱPr-C—H⋯π(p-tol­yl) and π–π inter­actions [between p-tolyl rings with inter-centroid distance = 3.8051 (12) Å] help to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface confirms the importance of H-atom contacts in establishing the packing.
