Comment top

Nickel(II) complexes with Schiff base ligands have received much attention in recent years (Marganian et al., 1995). Some of the complexes have been found to have pharmacological and antitumor properties (Brückner et al., 2000; Harrop et al., 2003; Ren et al., 2002). Nickel is also present in the active sites of several important classes of metalloproteins, as either a homodinuclear or a heterodinuclear species. As part of our research programme on metal complexes of Schiff base ligands (Diao et al., 2007; Diao, 2007; Li, Huang et al., 2007) we report here the structure of the title compound (I) Fig.1.

The NiII atom in the mononuclear complex is four-coordinate in a square-planar geometry with one phenolate O, one imine N, and one amine N atom of the Schiff base ligand and one terminal N atom of a thiocyanate anion in the coordination sphere (Fig. 1). Bond lengths and angles about the Ni(II) centre are comparable with the values observed in other Schiff base Ni(II) complexes (Arıcı et al., 2005; Li, Jiang et al., 2007; Li, Huang et al., 2007; Usman et al., 2003; Van Hecke et al., 2007).

Experimental top

2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (0.1 mmol, 17.0 mg), 2-piperidin-1-ylethylamine (0.1 mmol, 12.7 mg), ammonium thiocyanate (0.1 mmol, 7.5 mg), and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O (0.1 mmol, 29.0 mg) were dissolved in a methanol solution (10 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min to give a red solution. After keeping the solution in air for a week, red block-like crystals were formed.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
