Abstract

In the crystal structure of this Ni-II complex with bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane, aqua{2,2'-[1,3-propanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}- nickel(II), nickel is five-coordinate with a water molecule at the apex of a square pyramid. The complex has symmetry m and the two Schiff base moieties, which in themselves are planar, are inclined at 38.6 (4)degrees to each other, forming a shallow umbrella form. The configuration at the N atoms is planar, as would be expected of sp(2) hybridization.
