Source of materials

To a solution of Ni(NCS)2·4H2O (0.1387 g, 0.562 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and MeOH (5 mL) was added 3-phenylpyridine (0.3557 g, 2.292 mmol) and stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After evaporation of the solvent at 90 °C, the residue was washed with acetone, and dried at 60 °C, to give a blue powder (0.3591 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH3CN solution at room temperature.

Experimental details

Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with d(C–H) = 0.94 Å and U iso(H) = 1.2 U eq(C).

Comment

This contribution is part of my continuing interest in the structural chemistry of metal complexes containing 3-phenylpyridine (ppy) and SCN ligands [5, 6].

The central Ni(II) ion in the title complex is six-coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by six N atoms from four ppy ligands and two SCN anions.

The Ni atom is located at the inversion center, and therefore the asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex (two ppy ligands and one SCN anion).

In the crystal, the ppy ligands are not planar, the dihedral angles between the pyridine and phenyl rings being 24.97(8)° and 25.10(8)°, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings (N2–C6 and N3–C17) is 78.92(5)°. The thiocyanato ligand is almost linear displaying N–C–S bond angle of 177.4(1)°, and the N atoms are coordinated to the Ni atom with the Ni–N–C bond angle of 160.75(12)°.

The Ni–N(SCN) bond length (2.0411(12) Å) is shorter as compared to the Ni–N(ppy ligand) bond lengths (2.1287(12) and 2.2004(12) Å).

The complex molecules form columns in the [010] crystallographic direction due to the C4–H…C14(π) hydrogen bonds (symmetry code is x, y-1, z; the H…C distance is 2.81 Å, the C–H…C angle is 158°). Intermolecular π–π interactions are found between the aromatic rings of ppy ligands belonging to molecules of neighboring columns.

The shortest distance between Cg1 (the centroid of ring N3–C17) and Cg2 i (the centroid of ring C18–C23, symmetry code i: 1 − x, −y, −z) is 4.094(1) Å, and the dihedral angle between the ring planes is 25.10(8)° [4].
