Conclusion
The study reveals that the nickel(II) complex exhibits a distorted square-planar geometry with specific bond lengths and angles.
Supporting Evidence
- The nickel atom is coordinated by sulfur and oxygen atoms from two thiourea ligands.
- The complex shows a dihedral angle of 20.33° between the chelating rings.
- The bond lengths of Ni–S and Ni–O are consistent with related structures.
Takeaway
The researchers studied a nickel compound that is shaped like a square but is a bit twisted, showing how the atoms are connected.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized and characterized using X-ray crystallography.
