[Hexane-2,5-dione bis(thiosemicarbazonato)]nickel(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C8H14N6S 2)], the NiII ion is coordinated by N2S 2 donor atoms of the tetradentate thiosemicarbazone ligand, and has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, inversion-related molecules are linked via pairs of N - H⋯N and N - H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming R 2 2(8) ring motifs. Molecules are further linked by slightly weaker N - H⋯N, N - H⋯S and C - H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks which lie parallel to the bc plane. © Shalamzari et al. 2013.
