Abstract

In the title mononuclear [Ni(phen)(3)] sq center dot 8H(2)O complex [phen is 1,10-phenanthroline (C12H8N2) and sq is squarate (C4O42-)], the Ni-II ion has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry composed of six N atoms from three bidentate chelating phen ligands. An extensive three-dimensional network of O-water - H center dot center dot center dot O, O-water - H center dot center dot center dot O-water and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding interactions is responsible for crystal stabilization.
