Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (succinato-kappa O)[N,N,N ',N '-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-kappa(5) O,N,N ',O ',O '']nickei(II) tetrahydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C10H24N2O4)(C4H4O4)]center dot 4H(2)O, the Ni-II cation is octahedrally coordinated by one O atom of the succinate anion and three O atoms and two N atoms from an N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine molecule. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Hirshfeld surface analyses and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to analyse the intermolecular interactions present in the crystal, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H center dot center dot center dot H (63.3%) and H center dot center dot center dot O/O center dot center dot center dot H (34.5%) interactions.
