(a) Projection of the seven independent molecules in [Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2](15-crown-5)·2H2O at T = 90 K showing the two basic positions of the cation and the 15-crown-5 groups as well as the multiple positions of the nitrate ions. (b) Projection of the five independent molecules of [Ni(MeCN)(H2O)2(NO3)2](15-crown-5)·MeCN at T = 90 K showing the two basic orientations of the nickel. Pictures taken from Siegler et al. (2011, 2012). |
