摘要

The title one-dimensional chain nickel(II)-disulfide complex, [Ni(C14H8O4S2)(C5H5N)(2)(H2O)](n), has each Ni-II cation coordinated by two N atoms from two pyridine ligands, three carboxylate O atoms from two different dithiodibenzoate ligands and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule, in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Each dithiodibenzoate ion links two Ni-II cations through its carboxylate O atoms, making the structure polymeric. Hydrogen-bond interactions between two shoulder-to-shoulder chains lead to the formation of a ladder-like structure.
