Z.-Y. Zhang, N. Yu, X.-X. Guo, J. Pu and J.-P. Sun

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni(C₁₆H₁₃O₃)₂(H₂O)₄]·H₂O, is a transition metal complex of ketoprofen [2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propanoic acid], a well known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The asymmetric unit consists of half each of two complex molecules and one solvent water molecule. Both Ni^II atoms are located on crystallographic centres of inversion, each exhibiting an octahedral coordination geometry involving two carboxylate O atoms of different ketoprofenate ligands and four water molecules. A three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding framework is formed by O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.
