The title compound, [Ni(C20H14N2S2)], was formed from a Schiff base reaction of 2-tert-butylthiobenzaldehyde with 1,2-phenylenediamine, followed by reaction with Ni(BF4)(2).6H(2)O. The square-planar NiN2S2 complex has Ni-N distances of 1.8992(17) and 1.9014(15)Angstrom, and Ni C distances of 2.1519(6) and 2.1587 (6) Angstrom. Molecules pack in layers with a tilt angle of 46.09(1)degrees; the (001) packing plane is arranged so that the molecules in superimposed layers stack approximately perpendicular to each ether.

Two new series of substituted salphen-metal complexes and thiasalphen-metal complexes have been synthesized. The fluorine substituted salphen-metal complexes (5, 6 and 7) were prepared by the coordination of ligand 4 (obtained by the reaction of 4,5-difluorosalicylaldehyde with, o-phenylenediamine) with Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions, respectively. The thiasalphen-metal complexes (8, 9 and 10) were prepared strategically following the unique route of the in situ reduction of bis(o-formylphenyl)disulfide to mercaptobenzaldehyde then complexation with Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions, followed by Schiff base coupling with o-phenylenediamine, in a single pot. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-MS, FT-IR and H-1/C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 were established by single crystal X-ray analysis. The various non-bonding interactions resulted in fascinating supramolecular building motifs. The photophysical and electrochemical properties (band gaps, HOMO-LUMO energies) of all the six complexes were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The optical band gaps were found to be in the range 2.31-2.79 eV. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
