Hexaaquahexakis(
2-3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole)trinickel(II) trisulfate octadecahydrate
Single crystals of (I) were grown by slowly diffusing 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole
(0.020 g, 0.2 mmol) dissolved in methanol (5 ml) into nickel(II) sulfate
hexahydrate (0.027 g, 0.1 mmol) dissolved in water (5 ml).
The N– and O-bound H atoms were found in difference maps and refined with
distance restraints of O–H = N–H = 0.85 (1) Å; for the water molecules, an
additional H···H = 1.39±0.01 Å restraint was imposed. The Uiso
values of the H atoms were tied to those of the parent atoms by a factor of
1.2.
The O atoms of one of the sulfate ions are diordered. For the ordered and
disordered sulfate ions, the S–O distance was restrained to 1.45±0.01 Å
and the O···O distance to 2.35±0.01 Å; the vibration of the oxygen atoms
was restrained to be nearly isotropic.

3,5-Diamino-1,2,4-triazole (C2H5N5) binds to cobalt to yield a centrosymmetric mixed-valence compound in which six of the ligands function as a bridge to a chain of three cobalt centers. The central metal atom is connected to six N-donor sites whereas the other two are each connected to three N atoms as well as to three water molecules. The charge of the cation is balanced by chloride ions, and the structure of the salt is stabilized by extensive hydrogen bonds (Antolini et al., 1991).
The title nickel analog displays a similar structure (Fig. 1, Table 1), but the charge of the trinuclear cation is balanced by three sulfate dianions. The cations and anions interact through uncoordinated water molecules to give rise to a three-dimensional, hydrogen bonded network (Table 2).
