Poly[[tetra­kis­(μ-2-anilinobenzoato-κ(2) O:O′)tetra-μ(1,1,1)-azido-tetra-μ(1,1)-azido-octa­methano­lhexa­nickel(II)] methanol hexa­solvate]

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(6)(C(13)H(10)NO(2))(4)(N(3))(8)(CH(3)OH)(8)]·6CH(3)OH, consists of a centrosymmetric hexa­nuclear [Ni(II) (6)(C(13)H(10)NO(2))(4)(N(3))(8)(CH(3)OH)(8)] mol­ecule and six methanol solvent mol­ecules. In the hexa­nuclear unit, the six octa­hedrally coordinated Ni(II) atoms are linked by four μ(1,1,1)-azide and four μ(1,1)-azide bridges, forming a face-sharing Ni(6)N(8) tetra­cubane-like unit with four missing corners. The Ni(II) atoms are further bridged by four μ(1,2)-carboxalate groups. Neighbouring hexa­nuclear units are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions into a three-dimensional structure. Although the H atoms of the methanol OH groups could not be located, O⋯N/O contacts between 2.65 and 2.86 Å suggest that these mol­ecules participate in hydrogen bonding.
