The organic ligand (E)-8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde oxime (H2L) was used to react with Ni(CH3COO)(2)center dot 4H(2)O and NaN(CN)(2) at 100 degrees C to obtain the complex [Ni3Na(HL)(3)(L)(2)](n)center dot 4nCH(3)CN (1). Interestingly, the five ligands in the structure chelate three Ni ions, and the uncoordinated O on the ligand captures one Na+. However, the above scheme remains the same, and after adding isonicotinic acid (ina), it obtained the complex [Ni-4(HL)(4)(L)(2)](2)center dot 2CH(3)CN (2), which eight Ni2+ ions are coordinated by twelve ligands. The component distribution of th...
