description

Abstract The interaction of methazolamide (Hmacm) with Ni(II) ion and ammonia molecules gives rise to the complex of formula [Ni(macm)2(NH3)4]. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group with a = 14.255(4), b = 7.126(2), c = 12.444(3) A, β = 113.12(3)° and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 0.065 (Rw = 0.065). The complex consists of monomeric units which interact through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts. The Ni(II) ion is coordinated with the deprotonated sulfonamido nitrogen of the macm− ligand in axial sites and the ammonia molecules in equatorial positions. IR, electronic spectra and 1H NMR results are also reported.
