Hexakis(N,N-dimethylacetamide)nickel(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) 0.17-hydrate

H. Suzuki and S. Ishiguro

Abstract: The nickel complex of the title compound, [Ni(C₄H₉NO)₆](BF₄)₂·0.17H₂O, has an octahedral coordination geometry with $\\overline{3}$ symmetry at the Ni ion, in which all six ligands are crystallographically equivalent. The Ni-O-C-N torsion angle [151.2 (3)°] indicates that the Ni-O bond is displaced from the direction of the lone pair of the sp² O atom. This is ascribed to the steric hindrance of the ligand in an octahedral environment.
