Poly[aqua[μ-1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene-κ2N:N′][μ-5-(diphenylphosphinoyl)isophthalato-κ3O1,O1′:O3]nickel(II)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C20H13O5P)(C12H10N2)(H2O)]n, the NiII cation is coordinated by three O atoms from two 5-(diphenylphosphinoyl)isophthalate anions, two N atoms from two 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene ligands and one water molecule in a distorted octahedral geometry. Both 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene and 5-(diphenylphosphinoyl)isophthalate bridge the NiII cations to form polymeric layers parallel to (001). In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonding links layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
