Abstract: The title compound, {[Ni(4-abaH)(2,2′-bipy)(NO3)(H2O)](NO3)}n, where 4-abaH=4-aminobenzoic acid and 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridine, was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a=1.435 45(13) nm, b=0.850 15(8) nm, c=1.643 08(15) nm, β=93.570 0(10) °, V=2.001 2(3) nm3, Z=4, Mr=494.07, Dc=1.640 g·cm-3, μ=1.033 mm-1, F(000)=1 016, R1=0.024 9, wR2=0.058 6. The Ni atoms are octahedrally coordinated by three N atoms from 2,2′-bipyridine and 4-abaH ligand, and three O atoms from nitrate, 4-abaH ligand and water molecule, respectively. The complex shows a one-dimensional zigzag chain bridged by 4-abaH molecules. CCDC: 692857. |
