Abstract: The title compound, [Ni₂(C₉H₆O₄)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂], is isostructural with the Zn^II analogue. Each Ni^II atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by three O atoms from two homophthalate anions, one aqua O atom and two 1,10-phenanthroline N atoms. The two Ni^II atoms are linked by two bridging homophthalate dianions into a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit. The dinuclear units are linked into one-dimensional ladder-like chains along [100] by O-HO hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and one of the O atoms of the carboxylatomethyl group.
