Bis[1-(2,6-Dimethylanilino)propane-1,2-dione Dioximato]nickel(II)

Abstract

The structure of the title complex consists of isolated [Ni(C <inf>11</inf>H<inf>14</inf>N<inf>3</inf>O<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2</inf>] units. The Ni atom is coordinated by four oxime N atoms in distorted square-planar geometry and lies on an inversion centre. The structure is stabilized by strong intramolecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a possible N-H⋯π intermolecular interaction. © 2005 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
