“…of bulky ligands such as triethanolamine [2][3][4][5], 2,6-pyridinedimethanol [6,7] usually prevents the coordination of sac to the metal ions, remaining it outside the coordination sphere as a counter-ion. As a continuation of our work on the synthesis and structures of metal complexes of sac, in this paper we report the synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of a new nickel(II) saccharinate complex with the N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine(bishydeten) ligand, namely [Ni(bishydeten) 2 ](sac) 2 .…”
