Tris(2,2'-biimidazole)nickel(II) phthalate

L.-N. Yang, J. Li and F.-X. Zhang

Abstract: A novel three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded complex, [Ni(C₆H₆N₄)₃](C₈H₄O₄), was synthesized. Each Ni atom is six-coordinate, in a pseudo-octahedral geometry, formed by six N atoms of three chelating biimidazole ligands. It has a three-dimensional network structure, formed by extensive hydrogen bonds between [Ni(H₂biim)₃]²⁺ cations and phthalate anions. There are two cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit.
