Synthesis and structural characterization of a nonplanar neutral [36]metallacrown-12 nickel compound [Ni(C13H9N3O2)(CH3OH)]12.
A nonplanar metallacrown [Ni-N-N]12 was achieved using a pentadente ligand, salicylaldehyde 2-pyridinecarboxylhydrazone (H2L) via a new modular self-assembly approach. The special bridging models of the ligand forced the macrocycle to form in a specific size with the wavelike conformation.
