摘要

A new Ni(II) complex, {[NiL(THF)](2)(mu-OAc)(2)Ni} (H2L = 4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-[(ethylene)dioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), has been synthesized and characterized structurally. The results show that the complex consists of three Ni(II) atoms, two tetradentate (mu-L)(2-) units, two coordinated mu-acetate ions which coordinate to three Ni(II) atoms in mu Ni-O-C-O-Ni mode and two coordinated THF molecules. All the hexa-coordinated Ni(II) atoms of the complex have a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing of the complex shows that a notable feature of this structure resides in the formation of an infinite 2D supramolecular networks through intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
