| Abstract: | Using Ni(Im)62+ (Im = imidazole) as the structural unit, the effects of oxygen-containing anions, such as SO42-, NO3? and CO32- on the structure of water clusters were studied. The crystal structures of three compounds [Ni(Im)6][SO4(H2O)11] (1), [Ni(Im)6][(NO3)Cl(H2O)4] (2), and [Ni(Im)6][CO3(H2O)5] (3) were obtained. Using Mercury-3.8 software to analyze the above three crystal structures, find different anion of water clusters had a significant effect on the supramolecular structure. At the same time, it also significantly influences the number of water molecules in the crystal structure. |
