Despite the simple chemical formula, [Ni(1,10-phenanthroline)2(H2O)2](NO3)2, crystallizes with a remarkably complicated 3-D hydrogen bonding supramolecular assembly. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with an unusually long b axis and a large cell volume. A huge asy...
