Bis(557121214-hexa­methyl-14811-tetra­azacyclo­tetra­decane-κ4 N)(μ-l-mal­ato-κ4 O 1O 2:O 4O 4′)dinickel(II) bis(perchlorate) monohydrate

摘要

In the crystal structure of the title dinuclear compound, [Ni2(C4H4O5)(C16H36N4)2](ClO4)2·H2O, the bridg­ing di­car­box­yl­ate dianion O,O′-chelates to two Ni atoms, both of which are also chelated by the N-macrocylic ligand. The Ni atoms exhibit a distorted octa­hedral coordination. N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations and the uncoordinated water mol­ecules into a layer structure; the perchlorate anions occupy the space between adjacent layers, and are only weakly linked to the layers. One of the perchlorate anions is disordered over two sets of sites in a 3:2 ratio.
