Conclusion
The nickel(II) complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry and forms hydrogen bonds that link molecules into layers.
Supporting Evidence
- The nickel(II) ion is coordinated by a tridentate Schiff base and two thiocyanate ligands.
- Hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules into layers parallel to the ac plane.
- The crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction methods.
Takeaway
Scientists made a special nickel compound that has a unique shape and sticks together with other molecules like building blocks.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by refluxing a mixture of 2-acetylpyridine and 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine with nickel(II) acetate and sodium thiocyanate.
