Abstract: In the title compound, Na₃[Ni(C₃H₂O₄)₂]Cl·6H₂O, two crystallographically independent Ni atoms lie on centres of symmetry, each coordinated by four O atoms from two malonate ligands and by two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Ni-O bond lengths are in the range 1.994 (18)-2.137 (2) Å. The three Na⁺ ions are coordinated by seven O atoms, six O atoms, and five O and one Cl atom. The crystal packing is stabilized by the three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network formed by O-HO and O-HCl hydrogen bonds.
