In the title compound, [Ni(C9H4O6)(H2O)3]n, the NiII ion has a distorted NiO5 square-pyramidal geometry, the maximum deviation from the least-squares plane formed by the basal atoms being 0.9351 (13) Å. The basal plane is formed by two O atoms from carboxylate residues of the 5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate ligand and by two O atoms from water molecules. The O atom of the third water molecule is axially positioned, 1.7890 (19) Å perpendicular to the basal plane. The 5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate ligand bridges the metal atoms, forming a polymeric chain along the b axis. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and carboxylate groups stabilize the crystal structure.

A mixture of NiNO3.6H2O (0.10 mmol), 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC, 0.10 mmol), Et3N (0.1 ml), EtOH (2 ml) and H2O (2 ml) was sealed in a 10 ml Tefon-lined stainless-steel reactor and then heated to 393 K for 48 h under autogenous pressure. The mixture was slowly cooled to room temperature. Green block crystals suitable for X-ray
were collected by filtration..H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding atoms and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N),respectively. The carboxy and water H atoms were located in a difference map and refined with O—H bond length from 0.82 to 0.85 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O).
In recent years, the construction of metal complexes based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand has been investigated owing to their potential applications in many fields (Xia et al., 2004; Modec & Brencic, 2005; Wei & Han, 2005; Han & Wei, 2005; Wang et al., 2005; Che et al., 2008; He et al., 2008; Li et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2009). In order to search for new metal complex based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand, the title complex, (I) was synthesized and its crystal determined (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles are normal (Allen et al., 1987). In the
the HBTC ligands bridge the Ni atoms, forming a chain along the b axis (Fig. 2). O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and carboxylate groups stabilize the structure.For the applications and stuctures of related metal complexes of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, see: Xia et al. (2004); Modec & Brencic (2005); Wei & Han (2005); Han & Wei (2005); Wang et al. (2005); Che et al. (2008); He et al. (2008); Li et al. (2008); Gao et al. (2009).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, the construction of metal complexes based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand has been investigated owing to their potential applications in many fields (Xia et al., 2004; Modec & Brencic, 2005; Wei & Han, 2005; Han & Wei, 2005; Wang et al., 2005; Che et al., 2008; He et al., 2008; Li et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2009). In order to search for new metal complex based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand, the title complex, (I) was synthesized and its crystal determined (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles are normal (Allen et al., 1987). In the crystal structure, the HBTC ligands bridge the Ni atoms, forming a chain along the b axis (Fig. 2). O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and carboxylate groups stabilize the structure.
