Trans-Di­aqua­bis­(N,N,N′-tri­methyl­ethylenedi­amine)­nickel(II) dichloride

ABSTRACT: The nickel(II) atom in the cation of the title salt has a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment defined by two O and four N atoms. In the title salt, [Ni(C5H12N2)2(H2O)2]Cl2, the asymmetric unit is comprised of half of the complex cation and a chloride ion with the NiII atom of the cation situated about a twofold rotation axis. The six-coordinate NiII atom of the cation is connected to four N atoms from two methyl-substituted ethyelenedi­amine ligands and two water mol­ecules in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment. The five-membered chelate ring is in a slight envelope conformation. The crystal packing features O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl inter­molecular inter­actions with the Cl− ion forming weak bifurcated hydrogen bonds with nearby water mol­ecules and N—H inter­actions
