The Nickel (II) complex, [Ni(MBPT)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (MBPT=4-p-methylphenyl-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole), was synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods.The complex adopts a distorted octahedral environment made up of two bidentate chelating MBPT ligands in the equatorial plane and two water molecules filling the axial positions.
