Dinuclear pyrazolato-N:N′-bridged dinickel(II) complex of 1,3-bis(5-chlorosalicylideneamino)propan-2-ol

Abstract

The title compound, µ-[1,3-bis(5-chloro-2- oxidobenzylideneamino)propan-2-olato(3-)]-O,N,O':O', N',O¨-µ-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolato)-N:N'-dinickel(II), [Ni2(C17H13Cl2N2O3) (C5H7-N2)], has crystallographic mirror symmetry. The Ni atoms in the dinuclear structure are linked symmetrically by the N atoms of the 3,5-dimethylpyrazole group and by the alkoxo O atom. Each NiII ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms, forming a square plane with trans-N2O2 geometry.
