W.-Y. Liu, H. Zhou, J.-X. Guo and A.-H. Yuan

Abstract: The title complex, [Ni^II(C₂H₈N₂)₃]₂[Mo^IV(CN)₈]·2H₂O, crystallized from a mixture of ethane-1,2-diamine (en), octacyanomolybdate(IV), [Mo(CN)₈]^4-, and the transition metal ion Ni²⁺. In the crystal structure, the Mo polyhedron has a square-antiprismatic shape, while the geometry around the Ni atom is distorted octahedral. The complex ions and water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds.
