Two Nickel（Ⅱ） Complexes Constructed by Novel Bis（3-methoxy-2-pyridyl）ether-6,6′-dicarboxylic Acid Ligand： Lattice Water Control of Structure

Under given conditions, two complexes of [Ni（H20）2BEDA]·2H2O 1 and [Ni（Py）2- BEDA]·6H2O 2 （BEDA = bis（3-methoxy-2-pyridyl）ether-6,6′-dicarboxylic acid） have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Crystal data for 1： C14H18NiN2O11, monoelinic C2/c, a = 14.3844（17）, b = 12.9900（15）, c = 9.6309（11） A, β = 104.3350（10）°, V= 1743.5（4） A3, Z = 4, Dc= 1.711 g/cm^3, F（000） = 928, μ = 1.179 mm^-1, Mr= 449.01, the final R = 0.0228 and wR = 0.0625. Crystal data for 2： C24H32NiN4O13, triclinic P1, a = 9.423（2）, b = 11.863（3）, c = 13.089（3） A, α = 91.511（3）, β = 92.465（3）, γ = 100.696（2）°, V = 1435.6（6） A^3, Z = 2, Dc= 1.488 g/cm^3, F（000） = 672, μ = 0.748 mm^-1, Mr= 643.25, the final R = 0.0400 and wR = 0.0975. Interestingly, in the two complexes, lattice water molecules dominate its crystal structures. Therefore, extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds assemble 1 and 2 into 2D extended sheets and a 3D open framework, respectively. Furthermore, water molecules present in 2 are associated to form water clusters.
