Tetraaquabis[3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolido]nickel(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C12H8N5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, the NiII atom is coordinated by the two N atoms [Ni—N = 2.094 (3) Å] and four O atoms [Ni—O = 2.063 (3)–2.083 (2) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecule is centrosymmetric and the NiII atom is located on an inversion center. Intermolecular O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
