Abstract: The two L-lactate groups in diaquadi(L-lactato)nickel(II), [Ni(C₃H₅O₃)₂(H₂O)₂], chelate to the Ni atom through their carboxyl and hydroxy O atoms; the water molecules occupy cis positions in the coordination octahedron of the metal atom. The water molecules and hydroxy groups are engaged in hydrogen bonds, to furnish a tightly held three-dimensional network structure.
