Crystal structure of (2,2'-bipyridine-N,N)(2,2',2'-triaminotriethylamine-N,N',N',N')nickel(II) diperchlorate.

An X-ray structure determination shows that the Ni(II) ion is a distorted six-coordinated octahedron by four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate tren ligand constituting the equatorial square base, and by two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate bpy ligand in a cis position. The two six-membered rings of bpy are coplanar and almost pararell. The tetradentate ligand consists of three five-membered chelate rings in gauche coformations. The Ni-N(tren) bond lengths of this complex are almost equivalent to the reported values.     

Crystal structure of (1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N",N"')nickel(II) diperchlorate.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C8H20N4)(C12H8N2)](ClO4)2, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The Ni(II) ion is six coordinated with four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand and two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate ligand in a distorted octahedron geometry. The folded tetradentate macrocyclic ligand adopts a configuration having four five-membered chelate rings in distorted eclipsed conformations. The four hydrogen atoms of the amine groups of the macrocyclic ligand are on the same side towards the bidentate ligand.     

Crystal structure of (5,14-methyl-7,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazadiiminecyclotetradecylene-N,N',N',N')nickel(II) bis(diisopropyldithiophosphate) complex.

The macrocyclic tetradentate Ni(II) compound was obtained in a reaction and determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure shows that the molecule is centrosymmetric, and Ni atom located in a square planar coordination environment. The two [(iPrO)2PS2]- anions are outside the macrocycle complex to balance. The Ni-N bond lengths are in the range of 1.906(2) to 1.950(2)A.
