Bis(2-phenylethylammonium) tetraaquadichloridonickel(II) dichloride dihydrate

A. H. Arkenbout, A. Meetsma and T. T. M. Palstra

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C₈H₉NH₃)₂[NiCl₂(H₂O)₄]Cl₂·2H₂O, was determined at 100 K. The nickel(II) ion is surrounded by an octahedron in which four water molecules and two Cl atoms are coordinated. These freestanding octahedra form a hydrogen-bonding network with the ammonium group of the 2-phenylethylammonium cations and the solvent water molecules and chloride ions. This results in sheets of freestanding octahedra alternating with layers of organic material.
