| Summary: | In the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C8H7O3)2(C3H4N2)2], the NiII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from two bidentate 3-hydroxyphenylacetato ligands and two N atoms from two imidazole molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. A three-dimensional network is formed via intermolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between the imidazole and benzene rings of neighboring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.856 (2) Å]. |
