Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C₂₀H₂₄N₈)]Cl₂·2H₂O, consists of Ni^II complex cations, Cl^- anions and uncoordinated water molecules. The Ni^II ion is located on an inversion center and is chelated by two (imidazol-4-ylmethyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (IPA) ligands in a distorted octahedral coordination. The tridentate IPA ligand displays the facial configuration. Hydrogen bonding stabilizes the crystal structure.
