In the title compound, [Ni(NO3)(C13H20N4)2]NO3, the NiII ion shows a distorted octahedral geometry formed by four N atoms from two bis(2-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methane ligands and two O atoms from a chelating nitrate anion. Three ethyl groups in the complex cation and the O atoms of the uncoordinated nitrate anion are disordered over two sets of positions [occupancy ratios of 0.52 (3):0.48 (3) and 0.63 (3):0.37 (3), respectively]. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the complex cations into a zigzag chain along [010] and further N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the chains and the uncoordinated nitrate anions lead to layers parallel to (100).

All chemicals used (reagent grade) were commercially available. To a methanol solution (3 ml) of nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate (0.113 g, 0.2 mmol), a methanol solution (3 ml) of 5,5'-bis(2-ethyl-4-methylimidazol)methane (0.058 g, 0.2 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring for about 30 min, and then filtered. The filtrate was slowly evaporated at room temperature over several days and blue crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C,N).

Knowledge of the detailed coordination behavior of imidazoles and their limitation in the possible use in complexes with specific catalytic activity is of great current importance. Didentate nitrogen coordination to transition metal ions is a coordination mode, which is not uncommon in natural systems. Not many ligands with an analogous donor atom pattern are known. In fact, only a few crystal structures of the coordination compounds containing ligands with benzimidazole groups in the aforementioned arrangement have been reported (Davis et al., 2007; Liu & Zhang, 2006; Martynowski et al., 2006; Policar et al., 1999). This paper describes the synthesis and structure of a coordination compound obtained from 5,5'-bis(2-ethyl-4-methylimidazol)methane and nickle(II) nitrate hexahydrate.
The asymmetric unit contains one NiII ion, two ligands, one coordinated nitrate anion and one uncoordinated nitrate anion. The NiII ion shows a distorted octahedral geometry formed by four N atoms from two ligands and two O atoms from one nitrate (Fig. 1). The dihedral angles formed by two imidazole rings of the same ligand are 50.6 (2) and 55.0 (2)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) connect the complex cations into a zigzag chain along [0 1 0] and N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the chains and the uncoordinated nitrate anions lead to a layer parallel to (1 0 0).
