Diaqua-bis(N,N'-dibenzyl-ethane-1,2-diamine-κN,N')nickel(II) dichloride N,N-dimethyl-formamide solvate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(C(16)H(20)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2)·C(3)H(7)NO, consists of two Ni(II) atoms, each lying on an inversion center, two Cl anions, two N,N'-dibenzyl-ethane-1,2-diamine ligands, two coordinated water mol-ecules and one N,N-dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule. Each Ni(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, with the equatorial plane formed by four N atoms and the axial positions occupied by two water mol-ecules. The complex mol-ecules are linked into a chain along [001] by N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The C atoms and H atoms of the solvent mol-ecule are disordered over two sites in a ratio of 0.52 (2):0.48 (2).

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
