A second solvatomorph of poly[[μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)]nickel(II)dipotassium]: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and semi-empirical geometry optimization

Abstract

The title compound, poly[triaquabis[μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)]dinickel(II)tetrapotassium], [K4Ni2(C7H6N4O7)2(H2O)3] n , is a second solvatomorph of poly[(μ4-N,N′-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-diyl)bis(carbamoylmethanoato)nickel(II)dipotassium] reported previously [Plutenko et al. (2021). Acta Cryst. E77, 298–304]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound includes two structurally independent complex anions [Ni(C7H6N4O7)]2−, which exhibit an L-shaped geometry and consist of two almost flat fragments perpendicular to one another: the 1,3,5-oxadiazinane fragment and the fragment including other atoms of the anion. The central Ni atom is in a square-planar N2O2 coordination arrangement formed by two amide N and two carboxylate O atoms. In the crystal, the title compound forms a layered structure in which layers of negatively charged complex anions and positively charged potassium cations are stacked along the a-axis direction. The polymeric framework is stabilized by a system of hydrogen-bonding interactions in which the water molecules act as donors and the carboxylic, amide and water O atoms act as acceptors.
