Influence of non-covalent interactions on the coordination geometry of Ni(ii) in Ni(ii)–M(ii) complexes (M = Zn and Hg) with a salen-type N2O2 Schiff base ligand and thiocyanate ion as the coligand

Abstract

The effect of non-covalent interactions on the coordination geometry of Ni(ii) in a Ni(ii)–Zn(ii) and a Ni(ii)–Hg(ii) complexes has been studied using DFT calculations.
