Azido[2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl-N3)pyridine-N](methanol)(methanolato)nickel(II)

Abstract

The Ni-II atom in the title compound, [Ni(N-3)(CH3O)(CH4O)(C19H13N5)], is octahedrally coordinated by three N atoms from the tridentate 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine ligand, one N atom from the azide anion and two O atoms from methanol molecules. The four N atoms occupy equatorial positions of the octahedron, with Ni-N bond distances ranging from 2.O28(4) to 2.114(4) Angstrom. The methanol O atoms occupy axial positions with Ni-O bond distances of 2.074(3) and 2.151(3) Angstrom.
