Abstract: In the hydrothermally prepared title coordination polymer, [Ni(C₂H₆NO₃S)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)]_n, the Ni^II ion and the 1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene ligand occupy special positions on inversion centers. The metal ion shows a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, being linked to two N atoms of two 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene ligands and to two O and two N atoms of two chelating 2-aminoethanesulfonate ligands. The 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene ligands bridge symmetry-related Ni^II ions forming polymeric chains along the [110] direction.
