Q.-X. Wang, M.-H. Zeng and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The Ni^II atom in the title compound, [Ni(C₁₂H₈NO₂)₂(H₂O)₄], exists in an all-trans octahedral coordination environment. The 3-(4-pyridyl)benzoate ligand binds to Ni atom through the pyridyl N atom; the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 26.27 (10)°. Adjacent complexes are linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The metal atom lies on a special position of 2 site symmetry in the crystal structure.
