Structure of a Ni(II) mixed ligand complex with 3-imidazoline nitroxide, <i>iso</i>-propanol, and water
A mixed ligand complex of Ni(II) with 3-imidazoline nitroxide and iso -propanol [NiL2( i -C3H7OH)2] is sensitive to atmospheric moisture. It is determined that at a high humidity, the air contacts with the mother solution of the compound in iso -propanol with the precipitated [NiL2( i -C3H7OH)2] crystals leads to their spontaneous transformation into [NiL2(H2O)]× i -C3H7OH crystals whose structure is described in the present paper.
