Crystal structure of a coordination polymer cation of {[Ni(NO3)(H2O)2(btp)]+}∞ bridged by two btp Ligands (btp = 2,6-bis(N′-1,2,4-triazolyl)pyridine)

Abstract

The btp ligand bridges Ni(II) ions to form a polymeric compound; further, two water ligands and a dangling btp ligand are also coordinated to Ni(II) ions. The coordination geometry of the Ni(II) ion is distorted octahedral. There is a hydrogen bond between a water ligand and a non-coordinated nitrate counterion (O1·O43 2.734(1)Å). 2006 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
