In the title compound, [Ni(C14H8N2O 5)(H2O)2]n, the NiII cation is six-coordinate with a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry and the 4-(isonicotinamido)phthalate ligand links the NiII centres into a three-dimensional structure with sra topology. The structure is also stabilized by N - H&mellip;O hydrogen bonding between the uncoordinated amide groups of the ligand and extensive O - H&mellip;O hydrogen bonding between the two coordinated water molecules. The magnetic and thermal stability properties of the title compound are also discussed. ©2013 International Union of Crys...
