Crystal structure of hexa-aqua-nickel(II) bis-{5-bromo-7-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-1-methyl-6-oxido-quinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate} monohydrate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(HO)](CHBrNOS)·HO, contains a half hexa-aqua-nickel(II) complex cation with the Ni ion lying on an inversion center, one 5-bromo-7-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-1-methyl-6-oxido-quinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate () anion and a half lattice water mol-ecule on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, anions are stacked in a column along the axis by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances 3.5922 (10)-3.7223 (11) Å]. The columns are inter-linked by hexa-aqua-nickel(II) cations through O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
