Hexakis(1H-imidazole-N³)nickel(II) bis(3-thienylacetate)

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

Abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C₃H₄N₂)₆](C₆H₅O₂S)₂, the Ni^II atom displays an octahedral coordination geometry, defined by six N atoms from the imidazole ligands. Intermolecular N-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions between the cationic complex and 3-thienylacetate anions form a three-dimensional network architecture. The two 3-thienylacetate anions are disordered, with occupancy ratios of circa 0.774 (1):0.226 (1) and ca 0.753 (5):0.247 (5).
