Bis[tris(propane-1,3-diamine-κ2N,N′)­nickel(II)] di­aqua­bis(propane-1,3-di­amine-κ2N,N′)nickel(II) hexa­bromide dihydrate

In the title compound, [Ni(C3H10N2)3]2[Ni(C3H10N2)2(H2O)2]Br6·2H2O, one Ni2+ cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by four N atoms from two ligands and by two water O atoms. The other Ni2+ cation, located in a general position, is coordinated by six N atoms from three ligands. In both cases, the Ni2+ cation has an octahedral coordination environment. The overall structural cohesion is ensured by three types of hydrogen bonds, N—H⋯Br, O—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O, which connect the two types of complex cations, the bromide counter-anions and the lattice water molecules into a three-dimensional network.
