Aquabis(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)chloridonickel(II) chloride chloroform monosolvate hemihydrate

Abstract

The title solvated salt, [NiCl(C10H8N2)2(H2O)]Cl·CHCl3·0.5H2O, contains a mononuclear NiII complex cation with 2,2′-bipyridine, chloride and aqua ligands forming a slightly distorted ClN4O octahedral coordination set. The charge of the cation is balanced by a chloride anion. In the crystal, half a water molecule and a chloroform solvent molecule are present per formula unit. Individual components are held together by O—H...Cl hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions.
