pubmed-article:21836882 | pubmed:abstractText | In the title compound, (C(10)H(10)NO)(2)[Ni(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·CH(3)OH·H(2)O, the coordination geometry of the Ni(II) atom can be described as distorted octa-hedral. In the crystal, noncovalent inter-actions play an important role in the stabilization of the structure, involving O-H?O, N-H?O and weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds and ?-? stacking inter-actions between the pyridine rings of the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligands [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7138?(15)?Å] and between the 8-hy-droxy-2-methyl-quinolinium cations [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6737?(15), 3.4434?(14), 3.6743?(15), 3.7541?(16), 3.5020?(15) and 3.7947?(15)?Å]. | lld:pubmed |
