The structure of the title compound, [Ni(C6H15NO3)2](C7H4NO3S)2, consists of a cationic [Ni(TEA)2]2+ and two anionic (SAC)− moieties (TEA is triethanolamine and SAC is the saccharinate anion). Two TEA ligands coordinate to the NiII ion through four O atoms and two N atoms acting as tridentate ligands (N,O,O′) in a distorted octahedral environment, with the bond distances [d(Ni—O) = 2.078 (2) and 2.082 (2) Å, and d(Ni—N) = 2.108 (2) Å]. SAC anions participate in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl H atoms of the TEA ligands to form a three‐dimensional network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
