In the present work, the nickel(II) synergist complex with isobutyric acid (HLI ) and 5-hydroxy-4-octanone oxime (HBI ), which were the corresponding short-chain analogs of the active synergistic mixture of Versatic10 (HL) and Lix63 (5,8-diethyl-7-hydroxy-6-dodecanoneoxime, HB), was prepared and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystal structure of the nickel(II) synergist complex showed that the composition of the complex was Ni(LI )2(HBI )2 with a cis-form octahedron geometry structure. Both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding were observed in the crystal lattice. Compared with the free ligands, similar band shifts of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra assigned to the stretching vibration of carbon–oxygen single bond (CO), the stretching vibration of carbon–nitrogen double bond (CN), and the disappearance of the scissoring vibration of α-hydroxy (OH) were correspondingly found in both the nickel(II) synergist complex and the extracted nickel(II) complex in the nonpolar organic phase. Combined with the results from ESI-MS, XRD, and slope analysis, it was concluded that the major species of the extracted nickel(II) complex in the nonpolar organic phase might possess a similar coordination structure [Ni(HB)2(L)2] as the nickel(II) synergist complex, along with the neutral complex [Ni(HB)(B)2].
