trans-(4-Acetylnaphthyl)chloridobis(triphenylphosphine-κP)nickel(II) dichloromethane solvate

Abstract

The title compound, [Ni(C12H9O)Cl(C18H15P)2]·CH2Cl2, was synthesized from the reaction between 1-acetyl-4-chloronaphthalene, NiCl2·6H2O and triphenylphosphine (PPh3) in ethanol. The compound contains one crystallographically unique nickel ion in a pseudo-square-planar geometry.
