Bis(1H-benzimidazole-κN3)bis[2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetato-κ2O,O′]nickel(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C12H9O2)2(C7H6N2)2]·H2O, The NiII cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated in a distorted NiN2O4 octahedral geometry. The asymmetric unit consists of a nickel(II) ion, one 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate anion, a neutral benzotriazole ligand and one half of a lattice water molecule. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The title compound is isotypic with its CdII analogue.
