Different electron configurations for ZnII (d 10) and NiII (d 8) lead to less regular coordination environments for the former: ZnII adopts strongly distorted octahedral or even fivefold coordination spheres whereas NiII favours rather regular octahedra. As a consequence, only the more flexible zinc cations may act as nodes in two-dimensional extended structures.
