| Abstract: | A new nickel(Ⅱ) coordination complex Ni(2,2'-bipy)2(ClC6H4COO)(H2O)](ClO4) was synthesized by self-assembly reaction of m-chlorobenzoic acid, 2,2'-bipy and Ni(ClO4)2(6H2O. The crystal of the title compound belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 0.77764(14), b = 2.6572(5), c = 1.3637(2) nm, β = 96.456(3)°, V = 2.8000(9) nm3, Dc = 1.528 g/cm3, Z = 4, Mr = 644.10, μ(MoKα) = 0.937 mm-1, F(000) =1320, R = 0.0549 and wR = 0.1164. Structure analysis shows that the nickel(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from two bipys as well as two oxygen atoms from m-chlorobenzoic acid and water, respectively, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The cyclic voltametric behavior of the complex is also presented. |
