Catena-Poly[[(acetato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)nickel(II)]-μ-acetato-κ2O:O′

Abstract

In the polymeric title complex, [Ni(C2H3O2)2(C12H8N2)]n, NiII ions are bridged by single syn–anti acetate ligands. Each Ni atom is five-coordinated by two 1,10-phenanthroline N atoms and three O atoms of acetate ligands in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a polymeric ribbon structure.
