Abstract: The NiII ion in the one-dimensional title complex, {[Ni2(C4H2O4)(OH)2(C10H9N3)2]·2H2O}n, has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment formed by three O atoms from two bridging hydroxide groups and one carboxylate group of the fumarate ligand and two pyridine N atoms from a di-2-pyridylamine (dpa) ligand. Two hydroxide groups link adjacent metal centers, forming a centrosymmetric four-membered [Ni2(OH)2] ring. In the crystal structure, the H atoms of the bridging hydroxide groups form intermolecular hydrogen bonds to both water molecules. These are further linked to the uncoordinated O atoms of the carboxylate groups and the NH group of a dpa ligand to generate a three-dimensional network from the chains of the coordination polymer.
