Abstract
In the title complex, [Ni(CH3COO)2(C3H10N2)2]·2H2O, the NiII atom resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising four amino N atoms and two carboxylate O atoms. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R21(6), R22(12), R32(8) and R55(16) rings, which generate a two-dimensional polymeric network parallel to (001).
