title: Bis[tris-(ethane-1,2-diamine)nickel(II)] octa-cyanidomolybdate(IV) penta-hydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C(2)H(8)N(2))(3)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·5H(2)O, the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by six N atoms from three ethane-1,2-diamine ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry, while the Mo(IV) atom is coordianted by eight cyanide ligands. The Ni-N bond distances range from 2.1061 (18) to 2.1425 (18) Å. The Mo-C and C-N distances in the [Mo(CN)(8)] unit range from 2.154 (2) to 2.174 (2) Å and 1.149 (3) to 1.156 (3) Å, respectively. The complex ions and water mol-ecules are linked by weak N-H⋯N/O and O-H⋯N/O hydrogen bonds into a three-demensional structure.
