Dichloridotetrakis(diniconazole)nickel(II)
Abstract
In the title compound, [NiCl2(C15H17Cl2N3O)4], the Ni atom lies on an inversion center and has an axially extended trans-NiCl2N4 octahedral geometry arising from its coordination by four diniconazole [systematic name: (E)-(RS)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol] ligands and two chloride ions. In the crystal, O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into [100] chains.
