Crystal Structure and DFT Study of Bis-{(S)-2-[(2-hy-droxy-benzyl)-amino]-4-methyl-penta-noato-κ2N, O}(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N, N')Nickel(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C13H18NO3)2(C12H8N2)], the NiII cation shows a distorted octahedral coordination environment. It is formed by two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand, as well as two N and two O atoms belonging to two 2-[(2-hydroxybenzyl)amino]-4-methylpentanoate ligands. Complex molecules are connected into layers propagating along the ab plane via hydrogen bonds formed by O atoms of carboxylate and phenoxide groups, which are further connected into a three-dimensional motif. © Faizi et al. 2017.
