Bis(9-aminoacridinium) bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-³O²,N,O⁶)nickelate(II) trihydrate

Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₃H₁₁N₂)₂[Ni(C₇H₃NO₄)₂]·3H₂O, consists of a mononuclear anionic complex, two 9-aminoacridinium cations and three uncoordinated water molecules. Two pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (pydc) ligands are bound to the Ni^II ion, giving an NiN₂O₄ bonded set. The coordination geometry around the Ni^II atom is distorted octahedral. There are two types of robust O-HO hydrogen-bond synthons, namely R₆⁶(24) and R₂⁴(8), which link the complex anions and water molecules to each other. N-HO hydrogen bonds connect the stacks of anions and cations in the structure. Other intermolecular interactions, including weak C-HO hydrogen bonds, - [shortest centroid-centroid distance = 3.336 (7) Å] and C-O [Ocentroid distance = 3.562 (10) Å] interactions, connect the various components.
