Tetraaquabis(6-carboxy-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylato-κN3)nickel(II) dimethylformamide disolvate dihydrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Ni(C9H45N2O4)2(H2O)4]·2C3H7NO·2H2O, has the NiII center coordinated by four water molecules and two N atoms from two 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligands in an octahedral geometry. The molecule interacts with the solvent water and dimethylformamide molecules through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The metal atom lies on a center of inversion.
