Conclusion
The nickel(II) complex exhibits a slightly distorted square-planar geometry and forms a one-dimensional chain in the crystal structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The nickel(II) ion is coordinated by two bidentate ligands.
- The crystal structure shows short C—H⋯Br contacts.
- The compound was obtained with an 84.6% yield.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new nickel compound that has a special shape and structure, which could be useful for future studies.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by mixing 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, ethylamine, sodium hydroxide, and nickel nitrate in methanol, followed by crystallization.
