title: (5-Amino-isophthalato-κN)triaqua-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')nickel(II) trihydrate.
abstract: The Ni(II) atom in the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(5)NO(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)]·3H(2)O, is six-coordinated in an NiN(3)O(3) octa-hedral geometry. The triply water-coordinated Ni(II) atom is chelated by the phenantroline ligand and is additionally coordinated by the amino group of the 5-amino-isophtalate anion. The anion, the coordinated and the uncoordinated water mol-ecules inter-act through an extensive O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network, generating a three-dimensional cage-like network.
