Abstract
The nickel(II) complex [Ni{H2(ide)}2](BPh4)2·BPh(ide)·(CH3)2CHOH (H2(ide) = 2,2′-iminodiethanol) was prepared, and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P1 and Z = 2, with cell parameters a = 11.8846(12)Å, b = 14.5812(11)Å, c = 20.235(2)Å, α = 73.031(5)°, β = 84.561(6)°, γ = 66.297(5)°, V = 3069.9(5)Å3. In the complex cation, two H2(ide) ligands work as tridentate ligands in the fac-forms, and the amino nitrogen atoms are at the cis-positions. The crystal contains an organoboron coordination complex, BPh(ide), and the complex cation is hydrogen-bonded to both BPh(ide) and 2-propanol molecules.
