Abstract

<p> In the title salt, [Ni(C <sub> 5 </sub> H <sub> 12 </sub> N <sub> 2 </sub> ) <sub> 2 </sub> (H <sub> 2 </sub> O) <sub> 2 </sub> ]Cl <sub> 2 </sub> , the asymmetric unit is comprised of half of the complex cation and a chloride ion with the Ni <sup> II </sup> atom of the cation situated about a twofold rotation axis. The six-coordinate Ni <sup> II </sup> atom of the cation is connected to four N atoms from two methyl-substituted ethyelenedi&shy;amine ligands and two water mol&shy;ecules in a slightly distorted octa&shy;hedral environment. The five-membered chelate ring is in a slight envelope conformation. The crystal packing features O&mdash;H&ctdot;Cl and N&mdash;H&ctdot;Cl inter&shy;molecular inter&shy;actions with the Cl <sup> &minus; </sup> ion forming weak bifurcated hydrogen bonds with nearby water mol&shy;ecules and N&mdash;H inter&shy;actions, leading to a three-dimensional supra&shy;molecular network structure.</p>
