A single-strand helical coordination polymer: catena-poly[[[triaquanickel(II)]-mu-2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylato-kappa(3)N,N':O] monohydrate].
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [[Ni(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(3)].H(2)O](n), is composed of a lattice water molecule and a nickel(II) ion that is coordinated by three water molecules and the two N atoms of a 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylate ligand. The twist of the 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylate unit and the coordination of one carboxylate group to a symmetry-related Ni(II) atom generate a helical chain that runs along the b axis. Intrahelical hydrogen bonds participate in controlling the orientation of the helices, and both right-handed and left-handed helices are connected by interhelical hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional sheets.
