Bis(μ‐acetyl­acetonato‐κ2O:O′)bis­[(acetyl­acetonato‐κ2O,O′)­aquanickel(II)] hemihydrate

The structure of the title complex, [Ni2(C5H7O2)4(H2O)2]·0.5H2O, is dimeric and corresponds to the trimeric structure of bis­(acetyl­acetonato)nickel(II) in which one Ni(acac)2 unit is replaced by two water mol­ecules. The centrosymmetric mol­ecule comprises two O–O edge-shared octa­hedra. The asymmetric unit contains two half-molecules of the complex and one water molecule.
