Four different types of molecular arrangements can be formed by one-pot synthesis, depending on the type of counter cation used, when a new anionic tris(biimidazolato)nickel(II) complex is used to form a network held together by hydrogen bonds. The connections occur through biimidazolate ligands, which can act as hydrogen bond donor as well as acceptor (see scheme).
