Aquabis(4-methylbenzoato)-O;²O,O'-bis(pyridine-N)nickel(II)

W.-D. Song, H. Wang and L.-L. Ji

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂(H₂O)], the Ni^II atom is in a distorted octahedral arrangement, coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms from one bidentate 4-methylbenzoate ligand and one monodentate 4-methylbenzoate ligand, two N atoms from pyridine ligands, axially positioned, and a water molecule. The equatorially positioned water molecule and uncoordinated carboxylate O atom form an intramolecular hydrogen bond. An intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bond between the coordinated water molecule and carboxylate O atom of the 4-methylbenzoate ligand forms infinite chains along the b axis. These chains are connected by C-H interactions.
