According to a study from Nanjing, People's Republic of China, "In the title compound, [Ni(SO4)(C12H8N2)(2)]center dot C2H6O2, the coordination polyhedron around the Ni2+ ion is a distorted octahedron, with four N atoms from two phenanthroline groups and two O atoms from a bidentate sulfate ligand."
"The Ni2+ ion lies on a special position of site symmetry 2. Intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the structure," wrote K.L. Zhong and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "The OH group of the ethane-1,2-diol solvent is disordered over two positions with equal occupancy.."
