Unusual Ni⋯Ni interaction in Ni(ii) complexes as potential inhibitors for the development of new anti-SARS-CoV-2 Omicron drugs.

ABSTRACT: Two nickel(ii) coordination complexes [Ni(L)]₂(1) and [Ni(L)]_n(2) of a tetradentate Schiff base ligand (H₂L) derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with ethylenediamine were synthesized, designed, and characterized via spectroscopic and single crystal XRD analyses. Both nickel(ii) complexes exhibited unusual Ni⋯Ni interactions and were fully characterized via single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Nickel(ii) complexes [Ni(L)]₂(1) and [Ni(L)]_n(2) crystallize in monoclinic and triclinic crystal systems with P2₁/c and P1̄ space groups, respectively, and revealed square planar geometry around each Ni(ii) ion. The structure of both the complexes have establishe
