In the title compound, [[K2Ni(C5O5)2(H2O)2].4H2O]n, the Ni atom lies on an inversion centre. Two inversion-related croconate [4,5-dihydroxy-4-cyclopentene-1,2,3-trionate(2-)] ligands and an Ni(II) ion form a near-planar symmetrical [Ni(C5O5)2]2- moiety. The near-square coordination centre of the moiety is then extended to an octahedral core by vertically bonding two water molecules in the [Ni(C5O5)2(H2O)2]2- coordination anion. The crystal structure is characterized by a three-dimensional network, involving strong K...O...K binding, K...O-Ni binding and hydrogen bonding.

Poly-stoichiometry of hydrated phases is relatively uncommon for organic materials and extended libraries of such species adopting different aqua-to-substrate ratios are still rare. The kinetically controlled higher hydrates could be particularly interesting for their structural relationships, which presumably may imprint some features of the substrate/substrate and aqua/substrate bonding in solutions, and provide insights into the nucleation stage. Two metastable high hydrates are prepared by crash crystallization.

Hydrogels with excellent flexibility, conductivity, and controllable mechanical properties are the current research hotspots in the field of biomaterial sensors. However, it is difficult for hydrogel sensors to regain their original function after being damaged, which limits their practical applications. Herein, a composite hydrogel (named SPBC) of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA)/cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)/sodium borate tetrahydrate was synthesized, which has good self-healing, electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties.

Hole transporting layers (HTLs), strategically positioned between electrode and light absorber, play a pivotal role in shaping charge extraction and transport in organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the commonly used poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) HTL, with its hygroscopic and acidic nature, undermines the operational durability of OSC devices. Herein, an environmentally friendly approach is developed utilizing nickel acetate tetrahydrate (NiAc·4HO) and [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl] phosphonic acid (2PACz) as the NiAc·4HO/2PACz HTL, aiming at overcoming the limitations posed by the conventional PEDOT:PSS one.
