The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the NiII cation form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the slightly distorted octahedral coordination is completed by the two N atoms of the NA ligands in the axial positions. The dihedral angle between the carboxylate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 23.67 (8)¡ã, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at an angle of 89.04 (4)¡ã. The coordinating water molecule links with the carboxylate group via an O¡ªH...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, N¡ªH...O, O¡ªH...O and weak C¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network. ¦Ð¨C¦Ð contacts between benzene rings [centroid¨Ccentroid distance = 3.8414 (7) ] may further stabilize the structure. A weak C¡ªH...¦Ð interaction also occurs. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812026943
