Deskripsi
In the title complex, (6,6′-{(1E,1′E)-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanylylidene)]bis(methanylylidene)}bis[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol]-κ4O,N,N′,O′)nickel(II), [Ni(C18H12F6N2O4)], the nickel(II) ion has a square-planar coordination sphere, being ligated by two N and two O atoms of the Schiff base ligand 6,6′-{(1E,1′E)-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanylylidene)]bis(methanylylidene)}bis[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol] (L). Inversion-related molecules are linked by a short Ni...Ni interaction of 3.2945 (6) Å forming a dimer. In the crystal, the dimers stack up the a axis, with a closest Ni...Ni separation of ca 3.791 Å. There are no other significant intermolecular interactions present. However, the Hirshfeld surface analysis and the two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the packing is dominated by H...F/F...H, H...H, O...H/H...O and C...H/H...C contacts.
