catena-Poly[[diaquanickel(II)]-μ-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylato]

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C8H8O5)(H2O)2]n, the NiII cation is in a Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral coordination environment binding to two O atoms from water molecules, the bridging O atom of the bicycloheptane unit, two carboxylate O atoms from different carboxylate groups and one carboxylate O atom from a symmetry-related bridging ligand. The crystal structure is made up from layers propagating parallel to the bc plane.
