  • Abstract
    The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C13H11N2O2)(H2O)4]Br3·2H2O, contains an octa­hedral NiII atom coordinated to the enol form of 1,3-di­pyridyl­propane-1,3-dione (dppo) and four water mol­ecules. Both pyridyl rings on the ligand are protonated, forming pyridinium rings and creating an overall ligand charge of +1. The protonated nitro­gen-containing rings are involved in hydrogen-bonding inter­actions with neighoring bromide anions. There are many additional hydrogen-bonding inter­actions involving coordinated water mol­ecules on the NiII atom, bromide anions and hydration water mol­ecules.
