Abstract
In the title complex, [Ni(C27H27N7)(C3H7NO)(H2O)](C6H2N3O7)2, the NiII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination evironment by an NiN4O2 ligand set. The tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine ligand is in a tetradentate mode while a coordinated water molecule and a dimethylformamide ligand complete the coordination. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cation and one of the pictrate anions into four-component centrosymmetric clusters.

We are interested in tris(2-benzimidazolyl)alkanes and their derivatives and we have previously reported the crystal structure of some related complexes (Wu et al, 2009; Wu et al, 2005)
