N3)nickel(II) triaquatris(1H-imidazole-
N3)nickel(II) bis(naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate)The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C3H4N2)6][Ni(C3H4N2)3(H2O)3](C12H6O4)2, contains uncoordinated naphthalenedicarboxylate dianions and two kinds of NiII complex cations, both assuming distorted octahedral geometries. One NiII ion is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by six imidazole molecules, while the other NiII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by three water molecules and three imidazole molecules in a mer-NiN3O3 arrangement. The naphthalenedicarboxylate dianion links both NiII complex cations via O-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonding, but no

stacking is observed between aromatic rings in the crystal structure. One imidazole ligand is equally disordered over two sites about a twofold rotation axis; one N atom and one water O atom have site symmetry 2.
A water-ethanol solution (16 ml, 1:3 v/v) of naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxyllic acid (0.108 g, 0.5 mmol) and sodium carbonate (0.053 g, 0.5 mmol) was refluxed for 0.5 h, then nickel chloride hexahydrate (0.118 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to the above solution. The reaction mixture was refluxed for a further 6.5 h, then imidazole (0.102 g, 1.5 mmol) was added to the above solution and the reaction mixture was refluxed for another 0.5 h. After cooling to room temperature the solution was filtered. Green prisms of (I) were obtained from the filtrate after 4 d.
The N9-containing imidazole molecule is disordered over two sites, close to a twofold rotation axis, but N9 atom is located on the twofold axis and is not disordered. The disordered components were refined with a half site occupancy and bond-length restraints were used to stabilise the refinement.
The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined as riding in as-found relative positions with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N). The highest peak in the final difference Fourier map is 0.10 Å from N9.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As part of our ongoing investigation on the nature of π-π stacking (Su & Xu, 2004; Xu et al., 2007), the title compound, (I), incorporating naphthalenedicarboxylate dianions, has recently been prepared in the laboratory and its crystal structure is reported here.
The crystal structure contains uncoordinated naphthalenedicarboxylate dianions and two independent NiII complex cations (Fig. 1). Both NiII complexes assume distorted octahedral geometry. The Ni1 atom is located in an inversion center and coordinated by six imidazole ligands, while the Ni2 atom is located on a twofold axis and coordinated by three water and three imidazole ligands. In the Ni2-containing complex cation, the O2W and N9 atoms are also located on the twofold axis, but the other atoms of the disordered N9-imidazole ring do not lie on the twofold axis and the N9-imidazole ring is tilted to the twofold axis by an angle of 11.9 (5)°, similar to 14.2 (3)° found in the MnII analogue (Li et al., 2008). The coordination bond distances (Table 1) are significantly shorter than those found in the MnII analogue (Li et al., 2008).
The uncoordinated naphthalenedicarboxylate dianion links with both NiII complex cations via O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonding (Fig. 1 and Table 2). Two carboxyl groups are twisted with respect to the naphthalene ring system by dihedral angles of 56.4 (5)° and 50.4 (5)°, which are larger than those found in the structure of free naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (ca 40°; Derissen et al., 1979). No π-π stacking is observed between aromatic rings in the crystal structure.
