catena-Poly[[[diaqua-copper(II)]-μ-quinoline-2,3-dicarboxyl-ato-κ(3)N,O(2):O(3)] monohydrate].

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(11)H(5)NO(4))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n), the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom of two symmetry-related quinoline-2,3-dicarboxyl-ate ligands, and two water mol-ecules. The water mol-ecules occupy basal and apical positions of the square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron. Each quinoline-2,3-dicarboxyl-ate dianion bridges two adjacent Cu(II) ions, forming a polymeric chain along [010].

Tetra-aqua-bis-(6-chloro-pyridine-3-carboxyl-ato-κO)nickel(II) tetra-hydrate.

In the title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(3)ClNO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·4H(2)O, the Ni(II) ion is located on an inversion centre and is octa-hedrally coordinated by four O atoms from four water mol-ecules in the equatorial plane and two O atoms of two 6-chloro-3-carboxyl-ate ligands in axial positions. There are also four lattice water molecules present. The organic ligands are bound to the Ni(II) ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxyl-ate O atom.
