Abstract
In the title compound, [Ni(C8H7O3)(C10H8N2)]ClO4, the NiII atom is in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination by two N atoms from the 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) ligand and two O atoms from the deprotonated 2-formyl-6-methoxyphenolate (mbd) ligand. The bipy ligand is nearly coplanar with the NiII square plane, the Ni atom being only 0.042 (2) Å from the mean plane, whereas the benzaldehyde plane is folded with respect to the square plane, making a dihedral angle of 19.17 (8)°. One of the O atoms of the perchlorate anion is involved in a weak interaction with the Ni atom, with an Ni—O distance of 2.5732 (18) Å. The packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O interactions.
