The compound has been characterized by means of elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis, TGA and X-ray crystallography. The weak ring-ring intramolecular π,π-interaction between phen and benzene ring of MEpheida affects the crystal pattern of the complex (triclinic, space group P-1) reported herein. Crystallographic information reveals the distorted octahedral geometry of the type 1+2+2+1 (lesser Jahn-Teller distortion) around the Ni(II) ion with full and half occupancy of t and 3dx-y, 3dz orbitals respectively. The iminodiacetate moiety of metal-chelate adopts fac-NO conformation. Moreover, the quantum chemical calculations and HOMO-LUMO energy gap along with the other global descriptors have been performed for the HMEpheida and [Ni(MEpheida)(phen)(HO)] complex using DFT/B3LYP methodology. The optical bandgap energy (E) for ligand and Ni(II) complex have been estimated through Tauc’s equation, αhν = A(hν-E), where r = ¿ for indirect and 2 for direct electronic transitions using electronic absorption data. The direct and indirect electronic transition bandgap calculated for Ni(II) complex 3.97 and 3.76 eV respectively, reflecting their semi-conducting nature.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía (FQM-283 Research Group)}, organization = {Factoría de Cristalización}, organization = {Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID)}, organization = {University of Granada}, publisher = {National Institute Of Science Communication and Policy Research (NIScPR)}, keywords = {Nickel(II) ternary complex}, keywords = {Molecular structure}, keywords = {Supra-molecular chemistry}, keywords = {HOMO-LUMO calculations}, keywords = {Optical bandgap energy measurements}, title = {Influence of intramolecular ring-ring π,π-interaction on crystal building in ternary compound of nickel(II) chelates of 2,2’-{[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethyl]azanediyl} diacetic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline – Synthesis, spectral, optical and quantum chemical study}, doi = {10.56042/ijc.v63i12.6896}, author = {Patel, Dheerendra Kumar and Choquesillo Lazarte, Duane and González Pérez, Josefa María and Niclos Gutiérrez, Juan}, }
