Аннотация:2-N-Tosylaminobenzaldehyde ferrocenoylhydrazone (H2L) and the octahedral nickel(II) complex [Ni(HL)2] · 2CH3OH (I) are synthesized and structurally characterized (CIF files CCDC 981876 (H2L) and 981877 (I)). The crystal structures of both compounds include two independent molecules with different mutual orientations of the tosyl and ferrocene fragments. In a single crystal of H2L, the independent molecules are joined by intermolecular hydrogen bonds into infinite linear chains extended along the crystallographic axis x. The π-stacking interaction between the cyclopentadienyl rings is observed along with hydrogen bonds in a single crystal of complex
