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 [NiL<sub>2</sub>( i -C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>OH)<sub>2</sub>] 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 [NiL<sub>2</sub>( i -C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>OH)<sub>2</sub>] crystals leads to their spontaneous transformation into [NiL<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)]× i -C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>OH crystals whose structure is described in the present paper.
