Aquabis(1H-imidazole-N³)bis(4-methylbenzoato)-O;O,O'-nickel(II)

W.-D. Song, R.-Z. Fan and H.-M. Wu

Abstract: In the mononuclear title compound, [Ni(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₃H₄N₂)₂(H₂O)], the Ni^II atom is coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms (from a bidentate 4-methylbenzoate ligand and a monodentate 4-methylbenzoate ligand), two N atoms (from two imidazole ligands) and a water molecule in an octahedral geometry. Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions lead to infinite chains, which are further self-assembled into a supramolecular network through intermolecular N-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions and - stacking [centroid-centroid distance = 3.717 (2) Å].
