cis-Aquabis(2,4-dichloro-6-formylphenolato-κ2O,O′)(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)nickel(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C7H3Cl2O2)2(C3H7NO)(H2O)], the NiII ion is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-formylphenolate ligands, one O atom from a water ligand and one O atom from a dimethylformamide ligand in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed though O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds; π–π stacking interactions, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.796 (2) Å, are also found.
