title: Aqua-glutarato(2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine)nickel(II) trihydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C(5)H(6)O(4))(C(18)H(12)N(6))(H(2)O)(2)]·3H(2)O, the Ni(II) atom shows a distorted octa-hedral coordination by three N atoms of the tridentate chelating ligand and three O atoms of two aqua ligands and an O atom of one carboxylate group of the glutarate anion. Mol-ecules are self-assembled via inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.836 (3) Å] into a supra-molecular network.
