A new Schiff base nickel(II) complex: {55′-dihydr­oxy-22′-o-phenyl­enebis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)diphenolato}nickel(II) methanol disolvate

摘要

The monomeric title nickel(II) complex of a salicylaldimine, [Ni(C20H14N2O4)]·2CH3OH, was obtained by the reaction of 2,4-dihydroxy­benzaldehyde and 1,2-phenyl­enediamine with nickel(II) acetate. The Ni^II atom is coordinated by two N atoms [Ni—N = 1.839 (2) Å] and two O atoms [Ni—O = 1.8253 (19) Å] in an approximately square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a chain along [001].
