Abstract
Abstract The crystal structure of 2-(2-pyridyl)imino-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine (PyTT) is reported. The compound diaquabis[2-(2-pyridyl)imino-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine]nickel(II) chloride trihydrate has been isolated and characterized by IR, UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance and X-ray diffraction. The complex cation has crystallographic C2 symmetry. The environment around the nickel atom may be described as a distorted octahedral geometry with the metallic atom coordinated to two water molecules [Ni–O(1)=2.114(2) A], two thiazolinic nitrogens [Ni–N(1)=2.061(2) A] and two imino nitrogens [Ni–N(3)=2.086(2) A]. Hydrogen bonding is present in the structure inter-linking PyTT ligands, water molecules and chloride ions.
