Nickel(II) carboxylates [Ni(CH3(CH2)14COO)2(H2O)2] (1) and [Ni(C6H5COO)2(H2O)2] (2) were obtained from reactions of NiCl2·6H2O with CH3(CH2)14COONa and C6H5COONa, respectively. Complex 1 reacted with pyridine (pyr) to form [Ni(CH3(CH2)14COO)2(pyr)2(H2O)2] (3) and [Ni2(μ2-H2O)(CH3(CH2)14COO)4(pyr)4]...
