[3,3'-[2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)dibenzylidene]bis(S-methyl dithiocarbazate)]-nickel](II).
The tetradentate N(2)S(2) Schiff base ligand 3,3'-[2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)dibenzylidene]bis(S-methyl dithiocarbazate) (H(2)L), prepared by the condensation of S-methyl dithiocarbazate with 1,4-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4-dioxabutane in a 1:2 molar ratio, reacts with nickel acetate to form the title neutral metal complex, [Ni(C(20)H(20)N(4)O(2)S(4))]. The X-ray structure of the complex shows a distorted square-planar geometry around the Ni atom. The monomeric units are weakly associated into dimers via a long Ni.S interaction [3.569 (1) A]. These dimeric units are then linked by C-H.S intermolecular contacts to form a polymeric chain along the a axis.
