Abstract: Under room temperature ultrasonic conditions, mixing the neutral 2,4,6-tri(pyridin-2-yl)- 1,3,5-triazine (tptz) ligand with Ni(II) salt resulted in the preparation of a unique {[Ni(tptz)Cl(H2O)2 ]- [Ni(tptz)(H2O)3 ]}3Cl.5H2O complex with two different nickel(II) centers in a high yield. The crystal structure of {[Ni(tptz)Cl(H2O)2 ][Ni(tptz)(H2O)3 ]}3Cl.5H2O revealed the existence of distorted octahedral around both Ni(II) centers. The complex structure was further supported by FT-IR, UV-Vis., CHN-EA, TGA and EDX. The computed HSA was also performed to support the XRD interaction types. The existence of the H2O molecules in the crystal lattice was examined by FT-IR and TG/DTG measurements that proved the presence of coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules. Moreover, the thermal stability of the desired complex was evaluated at open atmosphere via TG/DTG and showed stability up to ~400 ◦C and multistep thermal decomposition.
