In [Ni(paap)₂]⋅CH₃COOH⋅H₂O, two metal coordinated phenolate-O atoms are hydrogen bonded to CH₃COOH and H₂O, respectively. Intramolecular C–H⋅ < eqid1 > ⋅O interactions involving the water molecule and the C–H from azomethine and aromatic fragments lead to a two-dimensional network of [Ni(paap)₂]⋅CH₃COOH⋅H₂O in the crystal lattice. An uncoordinated carboxylate O-atom in [Ni(paab)₂]⋅2H₂O is hydrogen bonded to both water molecules. One of the water molecules is again hydrogen bonded to the corresponding symmetry related water molecule forming a dimer. The azomethine groups and the metal coordinated carboxylate-O atoms in [Ni(paab)₂] are involved in intermolecular C–H⋅ < eqid2 > ⋅O interactions forming a chain-like arrangement of the molecules.
