A water soluble flavonoid sulfate, [Ni(H₂O)₆](C₁₉H₁₇O₉S)₂·2H₂O was synthesized and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of it belongs to triclinic crystal system, space group P–1. The results show that the title compound consists of [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺, C₁₉H₁₇O₆SO₃ ⁻ and H₂O.

Hydrogen bonds, stacking interactions and the electrostatic interactions between cation [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and anion sulfonate C₁₉H₁₇O₆SO₃ ⁻ lead the moieties to a three-dimensional structure.     

Crystal and molecular structure of four copper(II) ethylenediaminedisuccinates, [Cu2(RR,SS-Edds)] · 6H2O, Ba2[Cu(RR,SS-Edds)](ClO4)2 · 8H2O, Ba[Cu(SS-HEdds)]ClO4 · 2H2O, and Ba3[Cu2(RR,SS-Edds)2](ClO4)2 · 6H2O

Four Cu(II) complexes with the RR,SS-Edds ^4? and SS-HEdds ^3? anions are synthesized, and their crystal structures are studied. In the compounds [Cu2(RR,SS-Edds)] · 6H₂O (I) and Ba2[Cu(RR,SS-Edds)](ClO₄)₂ · 8H₂O (II), the ligand forms hexacoordinate chelate [Cu(Edds)]^2? complexes with the N atoms and O atoms of the propionate groups in the equatorial positions and the O atoms of the acetate groups in the axial vertices. In the compounds Ba[Cu(SS-HEdds)]ClO₄ · 2H₂O (III) and Ba3[Cu2(RR,SS-Edds)₂](ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O (IV), one of the propionate arms, the protonated arm in III and the deprotonated arm in IV, does not enter into the coordination sphere of the Cu atom. An acetate arm moves to its position in the equatorial plane, and the free axial vertex is occupied by an O atom of the perchlorate ion. In I–IV, the lengths of the equatorial Cu-N and Cu-O bonds fall in the ranges 1.970–2.014 and 1.921–1.970 Å, respectively. The axial Cu-O bonds with the acetate groups and ClO ₄ ^? anions are elongated to 2.293–2.500 and 2.727–2.992 Å, respectively. In structure I, the second Cu atom acts as a counterion forming bonds with the O atoms of two water molecules and three O atoms of the Edds ligands. In II–IV, the Ba²⁺ cations are hydrated and bound to the O atoms of the anionic complexes and (except for one of the cations in IV) ClO ₄ ^? anions. The coordination number of the Ba cations is nine. The structural units in I–IV are connected into layers. In I, an extended system of hydrogen bonds links the layers into a framework. In II and III, the layers are linked only by weak hydrogen bonds, one bond per structural unit. In IV, ClO ₄ ^? anions are bound to the Ba and Cu atoms of neighboring layers, thus serving as bridges between the layers.
