Abstract
In the title compound, [Ni(C2O4)(C12H12N2O)2]n, the NiII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by two N atoms from two monodentate 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (L) ligands and four O atoms from two oxalate anions in a distorted octahedral geometry. The oxalate anion has a twofold rotation axis through the mid-point of the C—C bond and acts as a bridging ligand, linking the NiII atoms into a polymeric chain along [010]. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the chains, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. >

The oxalate anion has a twofold rotation axis through the mid-point of the C—C bond and acts as a bridging ligand, linking the NiII atoms into a polymeric chain along [010]. Weak intermolecular C—H O hydrogen bonds connect the chains, resulting in a threedimensional supramolecular structure.
