Abstract: A new 2D Hydrogen-bonded network complex [Ni(en)2(dpas)2] (Nadpas=sodium diphenylamine sulphonic acid salt, en=ethanediamine) has been synthesized in aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in space group P21/c, with cell parameters a=0.605 6(5) nm, b=1.448 1(5) nm, c=1.711 9(5) nm, β=93.257(5)°, and V=1.498 9(14) nm3, Dc=1.497 g·cm-3, Z=2, F(000)=708, R=0.027 7, wR=0.072 5. The crystal structure shows that the nickel atom is coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from the two en and two oxygen atoms from two dpas to form a mononuclear complex. Furthermore, the adjacent complex units are extended into a 2D supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds. CCDC: 674868. |
