Tris(benzimidazole)(iminodiacetato)nickel(II) dihydrate

J.-R. Su, K.-L. Yin and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₇H₆N₂)₃]·2H₂O, assumes a distorted octahedral geometry about Ni^II, involving one iminodiacetate dianion and three benzimidazole molecules. The tridentate iminodiacetate dianion chelates the Ni^II atom in the facial mode. The crystal packing is influenced by O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds and C-H interactions, the latter occurring between neighboring benzimidazole ring systems.
