Nickel succinate is a transition metal carboxylic acid salt. It crystallises in several forms. Nickel coordinates in a far more diverse way than other transition elements enabling a variety of structures for the same constituents. Succinate is dibasic, so its two ends can connect onto two different nickel atoms. Succininate is flexible, so that it can be bent to different angles and lengths. This allows formation of metal organic framework solids.
