Poly[[diaqua-μ(2)-4,4'-bipyridyl-μ(2)-o-phthalato-nickel(II)] dihydrate].

ABSTRACT: In the title layer complex, {[Ni(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), the Ni atom has a distorted octa-hedral environment, defined by the phthalate and 4,4'-bipyridyl ligands which link the Ni atoms, forming a square lattice in the bc plane. This extends into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network through O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The Ni atom lies on, and both ligands are bis-ected by, a crystallographic twofold axis.
