A novel Ni2+ com­plex with the N4-donor tripodal ligand bis­[(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)meth­yl][2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth­yl]amine (L), namely, aqua­{bis­[(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN3)meth­yl][2-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)eth­yl]amine-κN}chlo­ridonickel(II) perchlorate, [NiCl(C17H22N6)(H2O)]ClO4 or [NiCl(H2O)(L)Cl]ClO4 (1), was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. The crystal structure of 1 reveals an inter­esting and unusual cocrystallization of isomeric com­plexes, which are crystallographically disordered with partial occupancy of the labile cis aqua and chloride ligands. The Ni2+ centre exhibits a distorted octa­hedral environment, with similar bond lengths for the two Ni—N(imidazole) bonds. The bond length increases for Ni—N(pyridine) and Ni—N(amine), which is in agreement with literature examples. The bond lengths of the disordered labile sites are also in the expected range and the Ni—Cl and Ni—O bond lengths are com­parable with similar com­pounds. The electronic, redox and solution stability behaviour of 1 were also evaluated, and the data obtained suggest the maintenance of structural integrity, with no sign of demetalation or decom­position under the studied conditions.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
