Abstract (EN):
In the structure of the title complex, {methyl 2-{2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methyleneamino]ethylamino}-1-cyclopentenedithiocarboxylato-O,N,N',S}nickel(II), [Ni(C16H18N2OS2)], the Ni-II atom is coordinated by S, O and two N atoms in a nearly planar environment. The two inequivalent N atoms, coordinated in a cis manner, show virtually identical bond lengths and angles indicating that the NS ligand fragment coordinates as a Schiff base ligand, with the N atom behaving as an imine and the S atom having a strong thiolate character.
