Bis(μ-6-meth-oxy-2-{[(3-oxidoprop-yl)imino]-meth-yl}phenolato)nickel(II) methanol monosolvate.

The mol-ecular structure of the title complex, [Ni2(C11H13NO3)2]·CH3OH, contains two Ni(II) atoms and two doubly deprotonated 6-meth-oxy-2-{[(3-oxidoprop-yl)imino]-meth-yl}phenolate ligands. The Ni(II) atoms are each four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar geometry by three O atoms and one N atom derived from the phenolate ligands. The solvent mol-ecule is linked to the complex mol-ecule by two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
