The complex [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] H₂O (1), which was obtained by reaction of phenanthroline, Ni(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 7.05, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (no. 4) with cell dimensions: a = 9.350(1) Å, b = 7.631(1) Å, c = 12.821(1) Å, = 106.25(1), and D _calc = 1.607 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahe drally coordinated by one chelating phen ligand, three H₂O molecules and one monodentate maleato ligand to form [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] complex molecules with d(Ni–O) = 2.038–2.090 Å, d(Ni–N) = 2.066, 2.089 Å. The formed complex molecules are, via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, assembled into columnar 1D chains. Interdigitation of the chelating phen ligands of the neighboring chains leads to 2D layers and the crystal H₂O molecules are hydrogen bonded to the oxygen atoms of the maleate not coordinated to the Ni atom. However, reaction of NiCO₃, phen, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 6.33 afforded [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] 2H₂O (2), which crystallized in the triclinic space group (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 7.971(1) Å, b = 8.237(1) Å, c = 13.304(1) Å, = 81.005(6)°, = 87.877(8)°, = 78.322(8)°, and D _calc = 1.671 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two bis–monodentate maleato ligands with d(Ni–O) = 2.041–2.120 Å and d(Ni–N) = 2.095 Å. The Ni atoms are bridged by the maleato ligands to generate 1D ¹ [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] chains along [100]. The supramolecular assemblies of the 1D chains via – stacking inter- actions result in thick 2D layers parallel to (001), between which the noncoordinating H₂O molecules are sandwiched. The paramagnetic [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] 2H₂O (2) obeys the Curie–Weiss law _m(T-) = 1.139cm³ mol^–1 K with the Weiss constant = –0.95 K.
