Tetra-aqua-bis(pyridine-3-sulfonato-κN)nickel(II).

ABSTRACT: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [Ni(C(5)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Ni(II) cation is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by four water mol-ecules and two pyridine-3-sulfonate anions with an NiN(2)O(4) distorted octa-hedral geometry. The face-to-face separation of 3.561 (5) Å between parallel pyridine rings indicates the existence of weak π-π stacking between the pyridine rings. The structure also contains inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
