Va. Neverov et al., CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES OF NICKEL(II) COMPLEX WITH ACETAMIDOBUTANONE METHYLDITHIOCARBOHYDRAZONE, Crystallography reports, 43(5), 1998, pp. 789-792
The structure of nickel chelate with acetamidobutanone methyldithiocar
bohydrazone is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. It is demonst
rated that the nickel atom coordinates two bidentate ligands, which ar
e attached to the metal atom via the sulfur atom and the nitrogen atom
of the hydrazine residual. The amide nitrogen atom does not participa
te in the coordination. The inference is drawn that the nickel atom ex
hibits a tetrahedrally distorted planar coordination.
