Tetraaquadithiocyanatonickel(II) tetrakis(2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine) dihydrate

M. Hemamalini, P. T. Muthiah and R. J. Butcher

Abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(NCS)₂(H₂O)₄]·4C₆H₉N₃·2H₂O, the nickel(II) ion occupies an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by two N-bonded thiocyanate ions and four water molecules. The two distinct 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine molecules adopt distinct base-pairing dimerization patterns via different pairs of N-HN bonds. They are also hydrogen bonded to the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules and thiocyanate ions through O-HO, O-HS(thiocyanate) and N-HN(thiocyanate) hydrogen bonds.
