metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, [Ni(C5H5)(C5H7O)(C18H15P)], the molecule adopts the expected half-sandwich structure with no unusual metal–ligand distances. No classical hydrogen bonds are found in the structure; instead, the OH group of the butynol unit is involved in an unusual O—Hπ interaction with the CC group of an adjacent molecule. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—HO and C—Hπ interactions, leading to an extensive network of spiral columns.
