The structure of the nickel(II) complex consists of neutral molecules in which the nickel(II) ion sits on a center of symmetry and is octahedrally coordinated by two sac ligands, and two neutral pypr ligands. The pypr acts as a bidentate N‐ and O‐donor ligand forming a seven‐membered chelate ring, while sac behaves as a monodentate O‐donor ligand via the carbonyl O atom. The Ni‐N bond distance is 2.1016(15) Å, whereas the Ni‐O_pypr and Ni‐O_sac bond distances are 2.1280(12) and 2.0792(11) Å, respectively. The individual molecules are held together with a strong hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl O atom of pypr and N atom of sac and the C‐H…O type weak hydrogen bonds between some ring hydrogen atoms of pypr and sac, and the carbonyl and sulfonyl O atoms of sac in the neighbouring molecules.

Pyridine‐2‐(3′‐mercaptopropanoic acid)‐N ‐oxide (I), is a higher homologue of 1‐oxopyridinium‐2‐thioacetic acid (II) [1].

Synthesis,Crystal and Molecular Structure of 2‐Pyridylethanolbis(saccharinato)mercury(II)

2‐Pyridylethanolbis(saccharinato)mercury(II), [Hg(sac)2(pyet)], where sac and pyet are the saccharinate anion and the 2‐pyridylethanol molecule, respectively, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (No. 2) with a = 10.4518(6), b = 11.3796(6) (5), c = 19.9945(12) Å, a = 102.758(3)° b = 98.146(3)°, g = 104.751(3)°, Z = 4, V = 2193.0(2) ų. The unit cell contains two crystallographically independent [Hg(sac)2(pyet)] units in which the mercury(II) ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of two sac ligands, and one nitrogen and one oxygen atoms of one neutral pyet ligands. The pyet acts as a bidentate N‐ and O‐donor ligand forming a six‐membered chelate ring, while sac behaves as a monodentate N‐donor ligand. The average bite angle of the pyet ligand is 75.8(5)°. The Hg‐N_sac bond distances are in the range 2.0874(18) and 2.1931(18) Å, whereas the Hg‐N_pyet and Hg‐O_pyet bond distances are 2.2452(19)‐2.3202(19) and 2.6036(17)‐2.5902(16) Å, respectively.

Furthermore, packing of the molecules in the solid‐state results in aromatic π‐π interactions associated with the aromatic rings of sac‐sac and py‐py.
