(Di-2-pyridylamine-κ2N1,N1′)bis(methacrylato-κO)nickel(II) sesquihydrate

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C4H5O2)2(C10H9N3)]·1.5H2O, the NiII ion is in a distorted square-planar coordination environment, formed by two O atoms from two methacrylate ligands and two N atoms from a bis-chelating dipyridylamine ligand. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link complex molecules and water molecules into one-dimensional chains.
