Despite the presence of 55 nonequivalent atoms the structure of the layered nickel succinate [Ni 7 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 4 (OH) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ]⋅7 H 2 O was solved by ab initio methods from powder‐diffraction data. The structure contains unprecedented Ni 6 units (blue in the picture) linked by further Ni‐centered octahedra (green) and succinate ions (yellow).
