metal-organic compounds
A one-dimensional nickel coordination polymer incorporating 4-{[(1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoate and 4,4'-bipyridine ligands has an NiNi separation of 11.361 (1) Å. The fishbone-like chains are linked by O-HO, O-HN and C-HO hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions to form a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
