catena-Poly[[diaquabis(formato-κO)nickel(II)]-μ-2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine-κ2N2:N4]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(CHO2)2(C18H12N6)(H2O)2]n, the NiII ion, lying on a crystallographic inversion center, has a distorted octahedral coordination comprising two water ligands, two O-atom donors from formate ligands and two N-atom donors from the 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine ligands. These ligands bridge the NiII complex units, forming zigzag chains along the c axis. Adjacent chains are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
