X.-F. Zhou, A.-J. Han, D.-B. Chu and Z.-X. Huang

Abstract: The title complex, bis(acetylacetonato)diaquanickel(II) monohydrate, [Ni(C₅H₇O₂)₂(H₂O)₂)]·H₂O, was easily synthesized in high yield by electrochemical dissolution of nickel metal in an acetylacetone and ethanol solution via direct hydrolysis of the electrolyte solution at a temperature of 333 K. The crystal structure shows octahedral coordination of nickel with two trans aqua ligands. An uncoordinated water molecule engages in hydrogen bonding.
