Hydrogen-bonding interactions in the crystal structure of bis(N-propyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S')nickel(II): Ni[S2CN(nPr)(CH2CH2OH)](2)

摘要

Two independent molecules of Ni(S2CN(Pr)CH2CH2OH)(2), each located about a center of inversion, comprise the asymmetric unit. The molecules differ from each other in terms of the relative orientation of the terminal hydroxyl groups. A square planar geometry is found for each nickel atom defined by four sulfur atoms derived from two symmetrically chelating dithiocarbamate ligands. The crystal packing is dominated by O-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions that lead to extensive cross linking in all directions. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 6.4008(11) angstrom, b = 11.480(2) angstrom, c = 12.517(2) angstrom, alpha = 88.021(2)angstrom, beta = 82.491(2)angstrom, gamma = 89.986(2)angstrom, and Z = 2.
