title: Structure of [N,N'-propylenebis(2-pyrrolylmethyleneaminato)]nickel(II).
abstract: [Ni(C13H14N4)], Mr = 284.98, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.096 (2), b = 9.360 (2), c = 30.565 (4) A, beta = 119.45 (2) degrees, V = 2515.1 (9) A3, Z = 8, Dx = 1.505 g cm-3, Cu K alpha, lambda = 1.5418 A, mu = 20.22 cm-1, F(000) = 1168, T = 298 (2) K, 437 parameters refined, final R = 0.038 for all 2587 reflections. The complex takes a square-planar geometry around the Ni atom. Although the coordination geometries of the two crystallographically independent complexes are quite similar to each other, significant differences in planarity and Ni-N distances are observed.
