Abstract

The unit cell of the title compound, [CuNi2-(NO2)(2)(C17H16N2O2)(2)(C3H7NO)(2)].2C(3)H(7)NO, contains two molecules of the linear heterotrinuclear complex and four solvent molecules. The central Cu-II ion and the terminal Ni-II ions have distorted octahedral coordination spheres. The Cu-Ni pairs are each triply bridged, by the O atoms of an N, N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediaminato (salpd(2-)) ligand, and by an O and an N atom of a nitrite group. The central Cu-II ion, located on an inversion centre, has a total of six O atoms in its coordination sphere: two from each salpd(2-) ligand and one from each bridging nitrite group. The Ni-II ions are related by the inversion centre and each is coordinated by the two O and two N atoms of a salpd(2-) ligand and one N atom from a nitrite and an O atom from a dimethylformamide (dmf) ligand. The dmf and nitrite groups are mutually trans about the Ni-II ion. The Cu-Ni distance is 2.9967(4)Angstrom.
