W. G. P. Ariyananda and R. E. Norman

Abstract: The title compound, [NiCl₂(C₄H₁₂N₂)₂], is a molecular nickel(II) complex. The nickel(II) center is pseudo-octahedral six-coordinate with a trans geometry and is located on an inversion center. The molecules exhibit limited hydrogen bonding between the axial chloride ions and the secondary amine H atoms (each halide interacts with two H atoms) of adjacent molecules.
