Abstract: The title compound, [NiCl2(C3H9P)3], was obtained as a product of the reaction of [NiCl2(PMe3)2] with an equivalent trimethylphosphine in diethyl ether. It easily loses trimethylphosphine at room temperature to give NiCl2(PMe3)2. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, and their bond lengths and angles are similar. The Ni environment is trigonal bipyramidal. One Ni, one P and two Cl atoms lie in the equatorial plane, with the remaining two P atoms occupying axial positions. The equatorial Ni-P bond length is shorter than the axial bond lengths.
