title: Hydrogen bonds in the framework of bis(2-[bis(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanol)nickel(II) diperchlorate.
abstract: The title molecule, [Ni(C6H17N3O)2](ClO4)2, possesses a crystallographic centre of symmetry at the Ni(II) position. The coordination geometry around the Ni(II) atom is distorted octahedral, consisting of six N atoms from two tripodal polyamine ligands, while the ethanol O atoms of the ligands remain uncoordinated. The crystal packing shows two-dimensional layers and an infinite three-dimensional framework which is stabilized by a hydrogen-bonded network.
