| Abstract: | A new Ni(II) complex, Ni(ftsc)2NO3]NO3 (Hftsc=furan-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarba-zone), has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in a monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a=10.5203(13), b=9.2094(11), c=20.829(3), β=91.518(2)°, V=2 017.3(5)3, Z=4, F(000)=1064, Dc=1.716 g/cm3, and wR= 0.0800. The complex contains a six-coordinated nickel(II) center which is bound to two imine nitrogen atoms and two thiolato sulfur atoms of two ligands as well as two oxygen atoms from a nitrate anion to assume a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. In addition, intermolecular N-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonds between adjacent molecules link the molecules together to form a three-dimensional structure. |
