Abstract:

A new phenanthroline-based nickel(ii) complex was synthesized and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its crystal structure revealed that it comprises Ni₂Cl₄(H₂O)₂(Phen)₂ dimmers linked via O─H...Cl hydrogen bonds. In order to get better insights into the hydrogen bonds and the intermolecular interactions holding the molecules together, a Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out. Besides, the structure of the studied complex was optimized at M06-2X/6-31G(d)(LANL2DZ) level. Furthermore, the molecular orbital energy diagram, the contour plots of the molecular orbitals and the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map were calculated and discussed.

Keywords: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, hydrogen bonds, MEP map, Ni(II) complex, non-covalent interactions, quantum chemical calculations
