Propane-1,2-diammonium bis-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato-κO,N,O')nickelate(II) tetra-hydrate.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of nickel(II) nitrate hexa-hydrate, propane-1,2-diamine and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid in a 1:2:2 molar ratio in aqueous solution resulted in the formation of the title compound, (C(3)H(12)N(2))[Ni(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·4H(2)O or (p-1,2-daH(2))[Ni(pydc)(2)]·4H(2)O (where p-1,2-da is propane-1,2-diamine and pydcH(2) is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid). The geometry of the resulting NiN(2)O(4) coordination can be described as distorted octa-hedral. Considerable C=O⋯π stacking inter-actions are observed between the carboxyl-ate C=O groups and the pyridine rings of the (pydc)(2-) fragments, with O⋯π distances of 3.1563 (12) and 3.2523 (12) Å and C=O⋯π angles of 95.14 (8) and 94.64 (8)°. In the crystal structure, a wide range of non-covalent inter-actions, consisting of hydrogen bo
