A. S. Batsanov, J. A. K. Howard, N. S. Moore and M. Kilner

Abstract: The monoclinic (space group P2₁/n) structure of [Ni(H₂O)₆](p-H₃CC₆H₄SO₃)₂, with the octahedral cation at an inversion centre and the anion in a general position, shows a strong pseudo-orthorhombic (`Pnnm') symmetry. The structure comprises layers of hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, the former connected by hydrogen bonds.
