Diaquabis(4-formylbenzoato-κO)bis(1H-imidazole-κN3)nickel(II)

The title compound, [Ni(C8H5O3)2(C3H4N2)2(H2O)2], is isostructural with the manganese analogue. The Ni atom, which lies on a centre of inversion, is coordinated by two imidazole and two water ligands, as well as by the formyl­benzoate groups, in an all-trans octa­hedral geometry.
