Tetraaquabis[2-(4-pyridylsulfanyl)acetato-κN]nickel(II)

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C7H6NO2S)2(H2O)4], the NiII atom, located on a centre of inversion, is coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-(4-pyridylsulfanyl)acetate ligands and four water O atoms in an octahedral geometry. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and the carboxylate group of the anionic 2-(4-pyridylsulfanyl)acetate ligands link these discrete mononuclear units into a three-dimensional network.
