Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(C₁₆H₂₀N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·C₃H₇NO, consists of two Ni^II atoms, each lying on an inversion center, two Cl anions, two N,N'-dibenzylethane-1,2-diamine ligands, two coordinated water molecules and one N,N-dimethylformamide solvent molecule. Each Ni^II atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with the equatorial plane formed by four N atoms and the axial positions occupied by two water molecules. The complex molecules are linked into a chain along [001] by N-HCl, N-HO and O-HCl hydrogen bonds. The C atoms and H atoms of the solvent molecule are disordered over two sites in a ratio of 0.52 (2):0.48 (2).
