N3)nickel(II) pentahydrateIn the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C9H4N2O4)(H2O)5]·5H2O, the NiII atom is six-coordinated by one N atom from a 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligand and by five O atoms from five water molecules and displays a distorted octahedral geometry. Intermolecular O-H
O hydrogen-bonding interactions among the coordinated water molecules, solvent water molecules and carboxyl O atoms of the organic ligand and additional N-H
O hydrogen bonding lead to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
A mixture of nickel chloride (1 mmol), 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol), NaOH (1.5 mmol) and H2O (12 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon reactor, which was heated to 433 K for three days and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The crystals obtained were washed with water and dryed in air.
Carbon and nitrogen bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C or N atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N). The water H atoms were located in a difference map, and were refined with a distance restraint of O—H = 0.84 Å; their Uiso values were refined.

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. |

In the structural investigation of 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate complexes, it has been found that the 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid can function as a multidentate ligand (Lo et al., 2007; Yao et al., 2008), with versatile binding and coordination modes. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, a new Ni complex obtained by the reaction of 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid with nickel chloride in an alkaline aqueous solution.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, the NiII atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere, defined by one N atom from the 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligand and five coordinated water molecules. The five non-bonded solvent water molecules are located in cavities of the three-dimensional framework, allowing them to participate in various O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) with the coordinated water molecules, non-coordinated water molecules and carboxylate O atoms of the organic ligand. The hydrogen bonds are in the normal range (Table 1, Fig. 2).
