Bis(1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiol-ato)[(Z)-methyl 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)- 2-(methoxyimino)acetate]nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C₇H₄NS₂) ₂(C₇H₉N₃O₃S)], the Ni^II ion is in a slightly distorted N4S2 octa-hedral coordination environment. The two benzothia-zole-2-thiol-ate ligands chelate via their thia-zole N and thiol-ate S atoms while the methyl 2-(2-amino-thia-zol-4-yl)-2- (methoxy-imino)acetate also acts as a chelate ligand binding through the thia-zole and imino N atoms. Intra-molecular N - H⋯N, C - H⋯N and C - H⋯O interactions contribute to the molecular conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds produce R ₁ ²(6) rings and generate chains along the c axis. An extensive one-dimensional supra-molecular network of N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C - H⋯π interactions is responsible for the crystal structure stabilization.
