Abstract: In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C₇H₃FNO₃S)₂(H₂O)₄], the Ni^II atom exhibits a slightly distorted trans-NiN₂O₄ octahedral coordination. The nitrogen donors are provided by two 5-fluorosaccharinate ligands and the oxygen donors are provided by four water molecules. The crystal structure features O-HO and bifurcated O-H(F,O) hydrogen bonds, the latter involving the F atom of the 5-fluorosaccharinate ligand.
