Ac. Joussef et al., Tetraaqua[3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-(6-{N-[(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1-carboxylatoethyl]carbamoyl}-2-pyridyl-carbonylamino)propionato]nickel(II) pentahydrate, ACT CRYST E, 57, 2001, pp. m224-m226
The preparation and crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni(BHISP)(H2O)
(4)]. 5H(2)O, where BHISP2- is 3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-(6-{N-[(1H-imidazol-4
-yl)-1-carboxylatoethyl]carbam-oyl}-2-pyridylcarbonylamino)propionate (C19H
17N7O6), are presented. The Ni-II ion is coordinated by two imidazole N ato
ms of each histidine arm of the BHISP2- ligand, and four water molecules co
mplete the octahedral environment of the complex.
