Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(11)H(16)ClN(5))(2)]Cl(2).C(3)H(7)NO, contains one monomeric nickel(II) complex cation, two Cl(-) anions and one dimethylformamide solvent molecule. The Ni atom is coordinated to each of two 1-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-isopropylbiguanide (proguanil) ligands via two N atoms. The complex exhibits a square-planar coordination, with the Ni atom lying 0.021 (2) A out of the basal plane. The crystal packing is characterized by several hydrogen bonds.
