Bis(2,2'-bipyridine)[5,5'-iminobis(tetrazolato)]nickel(II) hexahydrate

X.-P. Liu and C. Zhang

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni(C₂H₁N₉)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·6H₂O, was prepared under hydrothermal reaction conditions. The asymmetric unit contains the nickel complex and six solvent water molecules. The Ni^II ion is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two N atoms from the 5,5'-iminobis(tetrazolate) (BTA^2-) anions. In the crystal structure, an extensive range of O-HN and O-HO hydrogen bonds links the complex and the water molecules into a three-dimensional network.
