Abstract
The crystal structure of bis(1,4-diazacycloheptane)nickel(II) chloride dihydrate. [Ni(DACH)2]Cl2·2H2O has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data measured on a CAD-4 diffractometer using graphite monochromatized Mo-Kα radiation. A full-matrix least-squares refinement with 1158 reflections gave a final R value of 5.0%. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 9.801(3), b = 11.690(4), c = 14.376(3) Å and Z = 4. The structure consists of discrete [Ni(DACH)2]2+ cations, Cl- anions and water of crystallization. The DACH moieties in the cation are in trans form and individual six- and five-membered chelate rings are in chair and half-boat configurations respectively. The octahedral coordination is prohibited because of the steric hindrance of the axial sites by the hydrogen-carbon backbone of the ligand. The site symmetry of the Ni(II) atom is D2h, which is consistent with the magnetic, spectral and conductance properties of the complex. Our results show that Ni(II) always form four-coordinated planar complexes with mesocyclic diamines irrespective of their chelate ring conformations.
