Op. Gladkikh et al., A NICKEL(II) COMPOUND WITH A TETRADENTATE DIAMINE-DIIMINE LIGAND, -5,8,DIAZADODECA-4,8-DIENE-2,11-DIAMINE)NICKEL(II) TETRACHLOROZINCATE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 53, 1997, pp. 1770-1772
The title compound, [Ni(C15H32N4)][ZnCl4], has a tetradentate diamine-
diimine ligand in a tetrahedrally twisted square-planar coordination t
o singlet ground-state nickel(II), with a mean Ni-N distance of 1.909
(3) Angstrom. The cation has approximate mirror symmetry, apart from t
he axially oriented C6 methyl substituent.
