Diacetatobis(Propane-1,3-Diamine)Nickel(II) Dihydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Ni(CH<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>2</inf>(C <inf>3</inf>H<inf>10</inf>N<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2</inf>]·2H<inf>2</inf>O, the NiII atom resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octa-hedral coordination environment comprising four amino N atoms and two carboxyl-ate O atoms. Inter-molecular N - H⋯O and O - H⋯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).
