Aqua­bis(1H-imidazole-κN (3))bis­(4-methyl­benzoato)-κO;κO,O′-nickel(II)

In the mononuclear title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) atom is coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms (from a bidentate 4-methyl­benzoate ligand and a monodentate 4-methyl­benzoate ligand), two N atoms (from two imidazole ligands) and a water mol­ecule in an octa­hedral geometry. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions lead to infinite chains, which are further self-assembled into a supra­molecular network through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions and π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.717 (2) Å].
