Diacetatobis(propane-1,3-diamine)nickel(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Ni(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)]center dot 2H(2)O, the Ni(II) atom resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising four amino N atoms and two carboxylate O atoms. Intermolecular N-H H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds produce R(2)(1)(6), R(2)(2)(12), R(3)(2)(8) and R(5)(5)(16) rings, which generate a two-dimensional polymeric network parallel to (001).
