Synthesis and crystal structure of Ni(II) complexes of 2′-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3,5-dihydroxybenzoylhydrazide

Abstract

A new mononuclear nickel(II) complex incorporating a Schiff-base ligand, [NiL₂](DMF)₄ (HL = 2′-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3,5-dihydroxybenzoylhydrazide), has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and X-ray crystal structure analysis. HL is an anionic tridentate ligand. The nickel atom is hexacoordinated with two oxygen atoms from keto group and two oxygen atoms from hydroxy group and two nitrogen atoms from amide, with the two nitrogen atoms occupying the axial positions forming a distorted octahedral coordination sphere.
