Abstract
The crystal structure of [Ni(Hbim)3](nPr4N)•MeOH (1) (Hbim− =mono- deprotonated 2,2′-biimidazolate and nPr4N+ = tetra-n-propyl-ammonium cation) has been determined. The structure was consists of Ni(II) centers hexacoordinated by three 2,2′-biimidazolate (Hbim−) ligands in an octahedral arrangement. Complex 1 possesses an intermolecular hydrogen bonding structure of zigzag one-dimensional chains in which two of the three Hbim− ligands connect the metal complex units.
