Abstract

A new complex containing two different substituted pyridine ligands, viz. 4-CNpy (4-cyanopyridine) and pdc (pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate), [Ni(H2O)2(pdc)(4-CNpy)] · 2H2O (1), has been prepared using [Ni(4-CNpy)2(H2O)3(SO4)] · H2O (2) as the starting compound. Crystal data on 1 are: monoclinic, P21/c, a = 11.533(2) Å, b = 20.114(4) Å, c = 7.306(1) Å, β = 93.777(3)°, V = 1,691.1(5) Å3, Z = 2, D calc. = 1.57 g cm−3, R 1 = 0.0585, w R 2 = 0.1236 for reflections with I > 4σ(F 0) and 268 parameters (R 1 = 0.0859, wR 2 = 0.1336 for all 4,024 reflections). The discrete molecules of the title complex remain hydrogen-bonded to assemble into supramolecular layers interleaved by disordered water molecules. In an attempt to obtain the cationic complex species cis-[Ni(H2O)4(4-CNpy)2]2+ we have isolated the compound [Ni(H2O)4(4-CNpy)2] · (BPh4)2 · 2(4-CNpy) · 4H2O (3) by adding NaBPh4 to an aqueous solution of 2. Crystal data on 3 are: monoclinic, P21/n, a = 10.5002(1) Å, b = 21.1692(3) Å, c = 15.3249(2) Å, β = 95.120(1)°, V = 3392.84(7) Å3, Z = 2, D calc. = 1.231 g cm−3, R 1 = 0.0453, wR 2 = 0.1217 for reflections with I > 4σ (F 0) and 556 parameters (R 1 = 0.0688, wR 2 = 0.1364 for all 9,257 reflections).
