Abstract
The title NiII complex, [Ni(C8H8NO2)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2], is centrosymmetric with the Ni atom on an inversion center. The molecule contains two 4-methylaminobenzoate (MAB) and two nicotinamide (NA) ligands and two coordinated water molecules, all ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Ni atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the slightly distorted octahedral coordination is completed by the two N atoms of the NA ligands in the axial positions. The dihedral angle between the carboxylate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 2.09 (14)°, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 66.15 (4)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
