Tris(pyridin-2-ylmethanol)nickel(II) hexafluoridophosphate trifluoroacetate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni(C6H7NO)3](PF6)(C2F3O2), the NiII ion is in a slightly distorted octahedral NiO3N3 coordination geometry with each of the three N and three O atoms in a meridional coordination. In the crystal, the complex molecules and the trifluoroacetate anions are connected via O—H...O hydrogen bonding into layers parallel to the ab plane.
