The complete mol­ecule of the title hydrazine carbodi­thio­ate complex, [Ni(C19H21N2S2)2], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The NiII atom is N,S-chelated by two hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate ligands, which provide a trans-N2S2 donor set that defines a distorted square-planar geometry. The conformation of the five-membered chelate ring is an envelope with the NiII atom being the flap atom. In the crystal, p-tolyl-C—H⋯π(benzene-iPr), iPr-C—H⋯π(p-tol­yl) and ππ inter­actions [between p-tolyl rings with inter-centroid distance = 3.8051 (12) Å] help to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface confirms the importance of H-atom contacts in establishing the packing.

1. Chemical context

Schiff bases derived from S-R-di­thio­carbazate (R = meth­yl/benz­yl/methyl­benz­yl) and heterocyclic aldehydes or ketones have received much attention in recent years owing to their cytotoxicity (Ali et al., 2002[Ali, M.

L., Maigre, L., Dorlet, P., Guillot, R., Pagès, J., Crouse, K. A., Policar, C. & Delsuc, N. (2014). Bioconjugate Chem. 25, 2269-2284.]; Maia et al., 2010[Maia, P. I. da S., Fernandes, A.

[Scheme 1]

Schiff bases that react with different metal ions often show different types of coordination modes. Metal complexes are versatile mol­ecules with a wide range of pharmacological properties due to the inherent characteristics of both the central metal atoms and ligands (Meggers, 2009[Meggers, E. (2009). Chem. Commun. pp. 1001-1010.]). Various transition metal complexes have been reported to induce DNA cleavage by attacking the sugar or base moieties of DNA through the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Burrows & Muller, 1998[Burrows, C. J. & Muller, J. G. (1998). Chem. Rev. 98, 1109-1152.]). A nickel(II) bis-di­thio­carbazate complex has been used in the photo-catalytic production of hydrogen as a catalyst (Wise et al., 2015[Wise, C. F., Liu, D., Mayer, K. J., Crossland, P. M., Hartley, C. L. & McNamara, W. R. (2015). Dalton Trans. 44, 14265-14271.]). Nickel(II) di­thio­carbazate has also been reported to have non-linear optical (NLO) properties (Liu et al., 2016[Liu, X., Xiao, Z., Huang, A., Wang, W., Zhang, L., Wang, R. & Sun, D. (2016). New J. Chem. 40, 5957-5965.]) with the potential to be used in signal processing (Bort et al., 2013[Bort, G., Gallavardin, T., Ogden, D. & Dalko, P. I. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 4526-4537.]; Hales et al., 2014[Hales, J. M., Barlow, S., Kim, H., Mukhopadhyay, S., Brédas, J. L., Perry, J. W. & Marder, S. R. (2014). Chem. Mater. 26, 549-560.]), ultrafast optical communication, data storage, optical limiting (Price et al., 2015[Price, R. S., Dubinina, G., Wicks, G., Drobizhev, M., Rebane, A. & Schanze, K. S. (2015).

(2007). Chem. Mater. 19, 5325-5335.]), optical switching (Gieseking et al. 2014[Gieseking, R. L., Mukhopadhyay, S., Risko, C. & Brédas, J. L. (2014). ACS Photonics, 1, 261-269.]; Thorley et al., 2008[Thorley, K. J., Hales, J. M., Anderson, H. L. & Perry, J. W. (2008). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 47, 7095-7098.]), logic devices and bio-imaging (Ahn et al., 2012[Ahn, H. Y., Yao, S., Wang, X. & Belfield, K. D. (2012). Appl. Mater.

In line with our inter­est in evaluating the structures of different isomeric di­thio­carbazate Schiff bases and their metal complexes, we report herein the synthesis of the title complex, (I)[link], its X-ray crystal structure determination and a detailed study of the supramolecular association by an analysis of its Hirshfeld surface.

2. Structural commentary

The NiII atom in (I)[link], Fig. 1[link], is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion and is coordinated by two S,N-chelating hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate anions. From symmetry, the resulting N2S2 donor set has like atoms trans, and the square-planar coordination geometry is strictly planar. Distortions from the ideal geometry are related to the deviations of angles subtended at nickel by the donor atoms, Table 1[link]. The C1—N1—N2—C2 backbone of the ligand exhibits a twist as seen in the value of the torsion angle, i.e. −165.61 (17)°. Despite being involved in a formal bond to the NiII atom, the C1—S1 bond length of 1.7296 (19) Å is still significantly shorter than those formed by the S2 atom, i.e. C1—S2 = 1.7479 (18) Å and C12—S2 = 1.824 (2) Å.

The planarity of the N2S2 donor set does not extend to the five-membered chelate ring, which has an envelope conformation with the nickel atom lying 0.465 (2) Å above the least-squares plane through the remaining atoms [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0016 Å]. The sequence of C1=N1, N1—N2 and N2=C2 bond lengths of 1.294 (2), 1.408 (2) and 1.300 (2) Å, respectively, suggests limited conjugation across this residue. Each of the benzene rings of the S- and N-bound substituents is twisted with respect to the least-squares plane through the chelate ring. Thus, a nearly orthogonal relationship exists between the chelate and p-tolyl rings, with the dihedral angle being 89.72 (5)°. Less dramatic is the twist of the iPr-substituted ring with the dihedral angle being 13.83 (9)°. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 84.31 (6)°.

3. Supra­molecular features

The two sites potentially available for hydrogen bonding in (I)[link], i.e. the S1 and N1 atoms, are involved in intra­molecular inter­actions, Table 2[link]. The only discernible contacts in the crystal involve π-systems (Spek, 2009[Spek, A. L. (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155.]). Thus, each of the independent rings is involved in C—H⋯π contacts, i.e. p-tolyl-C—H⋯π(iPr-benzene) and iPr-benzene-C—H⋯π(p-tol­yl) contacts, Table 2[link]. In addition, centrosymmetrically related p-tolyl rings self-associate via face-to-face, ππ, inter­actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.8051 (12) Å for symmetry operationx, −1 − y, 1 − z], indicating the p-tolyl ring participates in two distinct inter­actions. The result of the supra­molecular association is the formation of a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2[link].

4. Analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces

The Hirshfeld surface analysis for (I)[link] was performed as described in a recent publication of a heavy-atom structure (Mohamad et al., 2017[Mohamad, R., Awang, N., Kamaludin, N. F., Jotani, M. M. & Tiekink, E. R. T. (2017). Acta Cryst. E73, 260-265.]). The non-appearance of characteristic red spots on the Hirshfeld surface mapped over dnorm (not shown) clearly indicates the absence of conventional hydrogen bonding in the crystal. The donors and acceptors of C—H⋯π inter­actions, involving atoms of each of the iPr-benzene and p-tolyl rings, are viewed as blue and light-red regions and correspond to the respective positive and negative potentials on the Hirshfeld surface mapped over electrostatic potential (over the range ± 0.025 au), Fig. 3[link]. The acceptors of the C—H⋯π inter­actions are also viewed as bright-orange spots appearing near iPr-benzene and p-tolyl rings on the Hirshfeld surface mapped over de, Fig. 4[link]. The immediate environment about a reference mol­ecule within the Hirshfeld surface mapped with shape-index property is illustrated in Fig. 5[link]. The C—H⋯π and their reciprocal contacts, i.e. π⋯H—C contacts, between iPr–H11B and the p-tolyl ring are represented by red and white dotted lines, respectively in Fig. 5[link]a; the blue dotted lines in Fig. 5[link]a represent ππ stacking between p-tolyl rings at −x, −1 − y, 1 − z. The other C—H⋯π contacts involving p-tolyl-H17 and iPr-benzene rings are illustrated in Fig. 5[link]b.

The overall two-dimensional fingerprint plot and those delineated into H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C, S⋯H/H⋯S and N⋯H/H⋯N and C⋯C contacts (McKinnon et al., 2007[McKinnon, J. J., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2007). Chem. Commun. pp. 3814-3816.]) illustrated in Fig. 6[link]af. From the qu­anti­tative summary of the relative contributions of the various inter­atomic contacts given in Table 3[link], it is important to note the dominant contribution of hydrogen atoms to the Hirshfeld surface, i.e. 95.3%. In the fingerprint plot delineated into H⋯H contacts. Fig. 6[link]b, the points are distributed in the major part of the plot, but they do not make significant contributions to the mol­ecular packing as their inter­atomic separations are greater than sum of their van der Waals radii, i.e. de + di > 2.4 Å. The presence of short inter­atomic C⋯H/H⋯C contacts, see Table 4[link], and C—H⋯π inter­actions contribute to the second largest contribution to the Hirshfeld surface, i.e. 22.2%. This is consistent with the fingerprint plot, Fig. 6[link]c, where the short inter­atomic C⋯H/H⋯C contacts appear as a pair of small peaks at de + di ∼ 2.8 Å and also as the blue regions around the participating hydrogen atoms, namely H5 and H10B, on the Hirshfeld surface mapped over electrostatic potential, Fig. 3[link]. The involvement of the chelating S1 and N1 atoms in intra­molecular inter­actions, Table 2[link], prevents them from forming inter­molecular S⋯H/H⋯S and N⋯H/H⋯N contacts. However, the symmetrical distribution of points with the usual characteristics in their respective plots, Fig. 6[link]d and e, indicate meaningful contributions to the Hirshfeld surface, Table 3[link]. A small, i.e. 2.1%, but recognizable contribution from C⋯C contacts to the Hirshfeld surface is ascribed to ππ stacking inter­actions between symmetry-related p-tolyl rings, and appear as an arrow-like distribution of points around de = di 1.9 Å in Fig. 6[link]f. The other contacts have low percentage contributions to the surface and are likely to have negligible effects on the mol­ecular packing, Table 3[link].

5. Database survey

There are three closely related nickel(II) di­thio­carbazate complexes in the crystallographic literature (Groom et al., 2016[Groom, C. R., Bruno, I. J., Lightfoot, M. P. & Ward, S. C. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179.]); these are illustrated in simplified form in Fig. 7[link]. Complex (II) differs from (I)[link] only in the nature of the terminal substituents (Tan et al., 2012[Tan, M.-Y., Ravoof, T. B. S. A., Tahir, M. I. M., Crouse, K. A. & Tiekink, E. R. T. (2012). Acta Cryst. E68, m725-m726.]). Despite there being only small differences in chemical composition, a distinct coordination geometry is observed, with the NiII atom located on a twofold rotation axis and the N2S2 donor set having cis-dispositions of like atoms. In (III), with a formal link between the two imine functionalities, the cis-N2S2 arrangement is imposed by the geometric requirements of the bis­(di­thio­carbazate) di-anion (Zhou et al., 2002[Zhou, J.-H., Wang, Y.-X., Chen, X.-T., Song, Y.-L., Weng, L.-H. & You, X.-Z. (2002). Chin. J. Inorg. Chem. 18, 533-536.]). The mol­ecular structure of (IV), again with a cis-N2S2 donor set, appears to indicate that steric effects do not preclude a cis-N2S2 coordination geometry (Liu et al., 2000[Liu, Z.-H., Duan, C.-Y., Li, J.-H., Liu, Y.-J., Mei, Y.-H. & You, X.-Z. (2000). New J. Chem. 24, 1057-1062.]). With the foregoing in mind, it appears that the mol­ecular structure of (I)[link] is unprecedented, suggesting further systematic investigations in this area are warranted.

6. Synthesis and crystallization

The S-4-methyl­benzyl­dithio­carbazate (S4MDTC) precursor was synthesized by following a procedure adapted from the literature (Omar et al., 2014[Omar, S. A., Ravoof, T. B., Tahir, M. I. M. & Crouse, K. A. (2014). Transition Met. Chem. 39, 119-126.]). The Schiff base was also synthesized using a procedure adapted from the literature (Yusof et al., 2015b[Yusof, E. N. Md., Ravoof, T. B. S. A., Tiekink, E. R. T., Veerakumarasivam, A., Crouse, K. A., Tahir, M. M. I. & Ahmad, H. (2015b). Int. J. Mol. Sci. 16, 11034-11054.]) by the reaction of S4MDTC (2.12 g, 0.01 mol), dissolved in hot aceto­nitrile (100 ml), with an equimolar amount of 4-iso­propyl­benzaldehyde (1.48 g, 0.01 mol) in absolute ethanol (20 ml). The mixture was then heated at 353 K until half of the mixture solution reduced and allowed to cool to room temperature until a precipitate formed. The compound was recrystallized from ethanol solution and dried over silica gel.

The synthesized Schiff base (0.33 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in hot aceto­nitrile (50 ml) and added to nickel(II) acetate tetra­hydrate (0.13 g, 0.5 mmol) in an ethano­lic solution (30 ml). The mixture was heated and stirred to reduce the volume of the solution. Precipitation occurred once the mixture cooled to room temperature. The precipitate then was filtered and dried over silica gel. The complex was recrystallized from its methanol solution. Brown prismatic crystals were formed from the filtrate after being left to stand for a month. The crystals were filtered and washed with absolute ethanol at room temperature. Yield: 70%. M.p.: 479–480 K. Elemental composition calculated for C38H42N4NiS4: C, 61.53; H, 5.71; N, 7.55. Found: C, 61.67; H, 5.87; N, 7.55%. FT–IR (ATR, cm−1): 1589, ν(C=N); 997, ν(N—N); 823, ν(C=S).

7. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 5[link]. The carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).

The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
