Bis(triethano-lamine)nickel(II) sulfate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(15)NO(3))(2)]SO(4), contains two triethano-lamine (TEA) ligands bound to an Ni(2+) metal centre, which lies on a crystallographic inversion centre, and one sulfate anion located on a twofold rotation axis such that the asymmetric unit contains one-half molecule of the cation and of the anion. The triethano-lamine ligands coordinate via each axial N atom and two of the three O atoms, while the third arm of the ligand has the hydroxyl group pointing away from the metal centre. The sulfate anions are hydrogen bonded to the coordinated hydroxyl groups and also to the free arm, forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular hydrogen-bonded network expanding parallel to (010).
