J.-R. Su and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: The title compound, [NiCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]Cl·C₇H₆O₃·2H₂O, is composed of Ni^II complex cations, uncoordinated chloride anions, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) and uncoordinated water molecules. The Ni^II atom is surrounded by two phenanthroline (phen) molecules, a chloride anion and a water molecule in a distorted octahedral geometry. - stacking occurs between parallel phen ligands and between the nearly parallel carboxyl groups of HBA and the phen ligands.
