Diaqua-(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-ne)nickel(II) fumarate tetra-hydrate.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title complex salt, [Ni(C(10)H(24)N(4))(H(2)O)(2)](C(4)H(2)O(4))·4H(2)O, comprises half of a nickel(II) complex dication, half of a fumarate dianion and two water mol-ecules. Both the Ni(II) cation and fumarate anion lie on a crystallographic inversion center. The Ni(II) ion in the cyclam complex is six-coordinated within a distorted N(4)O(2) octa-hedral geometry, with the four cyclam N atoms in the equatorial plane and the two water mol-ecules in apical positions. The six-membered metalla ring adopts a chair conformation, whereas the five-membered ring exists in a twisted form. In the crystal packing, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the carboxyl groups of the fumarate anions lead to the formation of layers with R(4) (2)(8) ri
