Preferred Abstract (Original):
A binuclear nickel(II) chloride complex with dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, di-μ-chloro-bis[chloro(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)nickel(II)] dimer, has been prepared and its molecular structure determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is triclinic, space group P−1, with the Ni(II) in [NiCl2(C14H12N2)]2 coordinated to two N of the phen ligand and three Cl−, one terminal and two bridging. A center of inversion lies midway between two Ni(II). Overall Ni(II) coordination is distorted triangular bipyramidal. The dimer complex was also characterized by elemental analysis, FAB-MS, IR and UV–visible spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis.
