Figure 4
The grid formed by the two-dimensional network in the (101) plane. Isometric series of K+ ions in the [010] direction and heterometallic series of K+ and NiII ions in the [101] direction are connected by two kinds of multi-oxygen-bridging. Note that some atoms have been omitted for clarity. The eight satellite O atoms of a K+ ion are also shown, of which O1, O3, O4 and O5 are from the croconate ligands, while O7 and O8 are from water molecules. [Symmetry codes: (a) 1 − x, 2 − y, 1 − z; (c) 1 + x, y, z; (d) − x, + y, − z; (e) − x, − + y, − z.] |
