Comment top

The title compound, [Ni4(C15H12N2O4)4].4C3H7NO, is isostructural with its CoII (Gao et al., 2007a) and ZnII (Gao et al., 2007b) analogues. As shown in Figure 1, each NiII cation is penta-coordinated by four O atoms and one N atom, forming a distorted square-based pyramidal geometry. The Ni—O bond lengths are in the range 1.936 (3)–2.277 (3) Å, and Ni—N = 1.951 (3) Å. The NiII cations are linked into tetrameric complexes about positions of 4 point symmetry by four N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-hydrazine anions (Figure 2). The ligand exhibits an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond.

Experimental top

A mixture of nickel(II) acetate (0.5 mmol) and N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-hydrazine in DMF (35 ml) was refluxed for 1 h then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in the open flask to give green, block-shaped crystals in a yield of 22%. Elemental analysis calculated: C 51.32, H 4.51, N 9.98%; found: C 51.23, H 4.59, N 9.92%.

Refinement top

H atoms were generated geometrically and refined as riding atoms with C—H = 0.93Å or 0.96 Å, Uiso(H)= 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C), and O—H = 0.82 Å, Uiso(H)= 1.5 Ueq(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
