A new pentanuclear complex containing four nickel(II) ions and a sodium ion, [Na{Ni2(L)(O2CMe)2(μ-O2CMe)}2]BPh4 (1), was prepared using a binuleating ligand, N,N′-bis[2-(N,N-dimethyl)aminoethyl]-N,N′-dimethyl-1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane (HL). The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 and Z = 2 with cell parameters a = 10.841(3)Å, b = 19.161(5)Å, c = 20.415(5)Å, α = 116.929(18)°, β = 92.970(19)°, γ = 101.485(13)°, V = 3655.7(19)Å3. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values were 0.0464 and 0.1207, respectively, for 16641 independent reflections. Four of the oxygen donors in the coordinated bidentate acetato ligands further coordinated to one sodium ion in a tetrahedral manner.
