The reaction of thrichloroacetonitrile and NH4OH with participation of CuCl2 and Ni(CH3COO)2 leads to the corresponding complexes which are bis-(2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)) triazapentadieneato-1,3,5 Cu(II) and Ni(II). X-ray diffraction data showed that the metal atom in complexes is in an inversion center and possesses a square-planar coordination environment with two uninegatively charged 1,3,5-triazapentadienato chelators. In the solid state, the (N)H atoms of the ligands interact with oxygen atoms of solvent (CH3)2SO and (CH3)2NCHO to form six-membered intermolecular resonance assisted hydrogen bonding, while Cl atoms of the CCl3 groups participate in Cl---Cl interactions thus generating 2D supramolecular assembly of distinctive geometry.
