metal-organic compounds
The title complex is composed of two deprotonated N,N′-bidentate 2-[(phenylimino)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-1-ide ligands around a central NiII cation, with the pyrrolide rings and imine groups lying trans to each other. Molecules are linked into simple chains by two C—Hπ hydrogen bonds, one of which is intermolecular with a phenyl β-C atom as donor, while the other is intramolecular with a pyrrole β-C atom as donor.
