L. Abdelrahman et al., SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF TRIS(1,10-PHENANTHROLINE)NICKEL(II) PERCHLORATE HEMIHYDRATE, Journal of chemical crystallography, 25(10), 1995, pp. 629-632
The title compound was synthesized and characterized by conventional m
ethods and its X-ray crystal structure was determined. The complex cry
stallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with eight formula units
in a cell of dimensions: a = 36.714(4), b = 15.746(2), c = 12.337(2) A
ngstrom; beta = 102.9(1)degrees. The structure is built up by alternat
e layers of octahedral [Ni(phen)(3)](2+) cations and perchlorate anion
s with water molecules which run in the direction of the a axis nearly
parallel to the be plane.
