Crystal structures, DFT calculations, and Hirshfeld surface analyses of two new copper(II) and nickel(II) Schiff base complexes derived from meso-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethylenediamine

Two new Ni(II) (left) and Cu(II) (right) Schiff base complexes were synthesized and structurally characterized. DFT calculations and Hirshfeld surface analyses were performed to obtain intra and intermolecular insights.180
