Abstract:
The title compound, [Fe2Ni(C5H5)2(C20H20N2O2)]·CH2Cl2, is a four-coordinate square-planar nickel(II) complex with a tetradentate 1,1'-diferrocenyl-3,3'-(ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilo)dibutanolate ligand, which crystallizes with a molecule of dichloromethane. The ferrocene substituents are arranged in a syn conformation with respect to the Ni coordination plane. The complexes stack in an alternating assembly with channels occupied by the solvent molecules.
