Primary Institution: Yangzhou University

Conclusion

The study presents the crystal structure of a nickel complex that forms a three-dimensional network through hydrogen bonding.

Supporting Evidence

  • The nickel atom in the compound is coordinated in an octahedral geometry.
  • The structure features extensive hydrogen bonding interactions.
  • The compound was characterized using X-ray crystallography.

Takeaway

Scientists studied a nickel compound that has a special structure, and it holds together with water and other molecules like a cage.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized from nickel nitrate hexahydrate, 5-aminoisophthalic acid, sodium hydroxide, and 1,10-phenanthroline, followed by crystal growth.
