Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bis-(benzoato-κ² O,O')[bis-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)amine]nickel(II).

ABSTRACT: A new mononuclear Ni^II complex with bis-(pyridin-2-yl)amine (dpyam) and benzoate (benz), [Ni(C₇H₅O₂)₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The Ni^II ion adopts a cis-distorted octa-hedral geometry with an [NiN₂O₄] chromophore. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are linked together into a one-dimensional chain by symmetry-related π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7257 (17) Å], along with N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions, which were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis.
