Crystal structure of [{[Ni(C10H24N4)][Ni(CN)4]}·2H2O]n, a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed from the [Ni(cyclam)]2+ cation and the [Ni(CN)4]2– anion

ABSTRACT: The title coordination polymer consists of parallel linear chains built up of macrocyclic cations possessing a slightly tetra­gonally distorted NiN6 octa­hedral coordination geometry formed by four N atoms of the aza­macrocyclic ligand in the equatorial plane and two trans N atoms of the cyanide groups of the bridging tetra­cyano­nickelate anion in the axial positions. In the crystal, two independent [1 The asymmetric unit of the title compound, catena-poly[[[(1,4,8,11-tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N4,N8,N11)nickel(II)]-μ-cyanido-κ2N:C-[bis­(cyanido-κC)nickel(II)]-μ-cyanido-κ2C:N] dihydrate], {[Ni2(CN)4(C10H24N4)]·2H2O]n or [{[Ni(C10H24N4)][Ni(CN)4]}·2H2O]n, consists of a pair of crystallographically non-equivalent macrocyclic cations and anions. The nickel(II) ions (all with site symmetry
