Crystal Structure of (5,14-Methyl-7,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazadiimine-cyclotetradecylene-N,N',N'',N''')nickel(II) Bis(diisopropyldithiophosphate) Complex

Abstract

The macrocyclic tetradentate Ni(II) compound was obtained in a reaction and determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure shows that the molecule is centrosymmetric, and Ni atom located in a square planar coordination environment. The two [(iPrO)₂PS₂]^- anions are outside the macrocycle complex to balance. The Ni-N bond lengths are in the range of 1.906(2) to 1.950(2)Å.
