| Abstract: | The title compound, Ni(tssb)(2,2-bipy)2]·5(H2O) 1 (tssbH2 =2-(E)-(2-oxido-phenyl)methyleneamino]ethanesulfonato, 2,2-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridinyl), belongs to orthorhombic,space group Pbcn with a = 20.3983(18), b = 17.6929(15), c = 17.0897(15) nm, V = 6167.8(9) nm3,Mr= 688.38, Z = 8, Dc = 1.481 g·cm-3, F(000) = 2880, μ = 0.758 mm-1 and S =1.099. Each NiⅡ atom is six-coordinated by one N and one O atoms from one tssb2- anion and four N atoms from two 2,2-bipy ligands to give a distorted octahedral geometry. Noticeably, there exists a rare octa-membered water ring which presents a 1D chain by sulfonic group. |
