The ribbon structure of nickel(II) acetate-4,4'-bipyridine

Y.-L. Fu, Z.-W. Xu, J.-L. Ren and S. W. Ng

Abstract: One acetate chelates to an Ni atom and the other bridges two Ni atoms in the title compound, catena-poly[[di--acetato-1O:2O'-bis[(acetato-²O,O')nickel(II)]]-di--4,4'-bipyridine-1N:1'N';2N:2'N'], [Ni₂(C₂H₃O₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]_n. The Ni atoms in the centrosymmetric [Ni₂(C₂H₃O₂)₄] arrangement are bridged by the C₁₀H₈N₂ ligands to afford a ribbon structure. The Ni atom, both acetates and the heterocyclic ligand all lie on special positions of m site symmetry.
