✦ Synopsis
In the title compound, Ni(C~8~H~12~N~2~)~2~(H~2~O)~2~, the metal center, located on a crystallographic inversion center, is coordinated by four N atoms and two aqua ligands in an octahedral coordination geometry. The hexacoordinated nickel(II) complex cations are held together via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in infinite chains, which are connected by centrosymmetric naphthalene-2,6-disulfonate ligands as linkers, generating a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
