The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C10H15N3)2](ClO4)2, consists of 1.5 mononuclear nickel(II) complex cations, two perchlorate anions and two half-perchlorate anions. One of the complex cations and two of the perchlorate anions possess crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. The Ni atom is coordinated by six N atoms from two N-ethyl-N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl­ene)­ethane-1,2-diamine ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. All chemically equivalent bond lengths and angles in the two complex mol­ecules are comparable with each other. Each ligand adopts an approximately planar geometry, except for the terminal ethyl groups. The crystal structure involves intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

The title complex is a mononuclear nickel(II) compound (Fig. 1). The structure consists of two mononuclear nickel(II) molecules, one with twofold symmetry, and four perchlorate anions, two with twofold symmetry. The Ni atom is six-coordinated by two Schiff base ligands. Each Schiff base ligand acts as a tridentate ligand, and ligates to the nickel atom through the imine N, amine N, and pyridine N atoms. The bond lengths related to the metal centres are comparable to the values in other similar nickel(II) complexes (Zhou et al., 2004; Li et al., 2005; Li et al., 2007).

Experimental top

All the reagents used were of commercial grade and used without further purification. N-Ethylethane-1,2-diamine (1.0 mmol, 88.2 mg) and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (1.0 mmol, 107.1 mg) were mixed in a methanol solution (10 ml). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. To the mixture was added with stirring a methanol solution (10 ml) of Ni(ClO4)2·7H2O (0.5 mmol, 192.0 mg). After keeping the filtrate in air for a week, green block-shaped crystals were formed.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C–H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, N–H distances of 0.91 Å, and with Uiso(H) set at 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq(methyl C). The structure contains solvent accessible voids of 65 Å3, which might accommodate a disordered methanol molecule.

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.
