Varieties of Crystalline Architecture by Using Hydrogen-Bonding in Biimidazolate Metal-Complex Systems .3. Zigzag One-Dimensional Chains
The crystal structure of [Ni(Hbim)(3)]((Pr4N)-Pr-n). MeOH (1) (Hbim(-) = mono- deprotonated 2,2’-biimidazolate and (Pr4N+)-Pr-n = 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.
