Abstract

In the two-dimensional title coordination polymer, [Ni(C(8)H(3)BrO(4))(C(14)H(14)N(4))(H(2)O)](n), the Ni(II) atom adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry, being ligated by three O atoms from two different 5-bromo-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate ligands, two N atoms from two 1,2-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene ligands and one coordinated water mol-ecule. The Ni atoms are bridged by the 5-bromo-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate ligands, forming chains, which are further linked by 1,2-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene, generating a layer structure parallel to (001).
