The centrosymmetrically related Sr^{2 +} is separated by a short distance of 4.565(1) Å, which results in a closely packed cluster of monomers. Both the alcoholic oxygens are H-bond donors toward the carboxylate oxygens of one of the DNB anion. The water molecule occupies intermolecular spaces.

Crystal and molecular structure of tetrakis(N,N′-diallylthiourea)nickel(II) iodide

Summary The crystal structure of tetrakis(N,N-diallylthiourea)nickel(II) iodide [Ni(C₇H₁₂N₂S)₄I₂] has been determined by a three-dimensional X-ray analysis. FinalR, after anisotropic least-squares refinement, is 8·8%. The crystals are tetragonal (P4/n):a = 11·24(1),c = 15·43(1) Å,Z = 2. Ni(II) is on a 4-fold axis; the coordination around it is flattened pyramidal and involves four sulphur atoms from four diallylthiourea molecules (Ni-S = 2·221 Å). Ni(II) is out of the plane through the sulphur atoms by 0·40 Å. Two I^- ions lie on opposite sides with respect to the nickel atom along the 4-fold axis, at distances Ni...I(1) = 3·74 Å, Ni...I(2) = 6·64 Å. The orientation of the allylthiourea molecules is determined mainly by a hydrogen bond formed by one nitrogen (N(1)) with the iodine which is nearer to the nickel.The authors are indebted to Prof. C. Furlani who kindly supplied the crystals of the compound.
