Preperation and Struction of a 3-Dimensional Nickel(II) Coordination Polymer

The hydrothermal reaction of Ni(NO₃)·6H₂O with 4.4'-oxybis(benzoic acid) (OBCH₂) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bipyen) led to the formation of a 3-dimensional coordination polymer with the empirical formular of [Ni(OBC)(bipyen)]·H₂O. The complex has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, TGA, IR, X-ray power diffraction (XRPD), It crystallized triclinic space group P1 with a = 9.280(2)Å., b = 11.317(4) Å, c = 12.442(3) Å, Z = 2, R (ωR₂) = 0.0346 (0.0846).
