Bis{2-(5-hydroxy-2-[1-(hydroxyimino)ethyl]phenolato-κ2O1,N}nickel(II)N,N-dimethylformamide disolvate

Abstract

The Ni atom of the title complex, [Ni(C8H8NO3)2]·2C3H7NO, lies on a center of inversion in a square-planar N2O2 coordination environment. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond exists between the oximic hydr­oxy group of one ligand and the metal-coordinated O atom of the symmetry-related ligand. The dimethyl­formamide solvent mol­ecules are connected to the phenolate groups of the complex via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
