Abstract

Dichlorobis(8-(diphenylphosphinyl)quinoline)nickel(II) was formed in the reaction of 8-(diphenylphosphino)quinoline with nickel chloride in air. The title complex crystallized in P1 with the following cell dimensions: a = 8.5685(3) Å, b = 10.7736(2) Å, c = 13.4391(5) Å, and α = 110.447(2)°, β = 94.577(2)°; γ = 111.138(2)°, giving a volume of 1053.75(6) Å3. The trans-dichlorobis(8-(diphenylphosphinyl)quinoline) nickel(II) adapts a central symmetric distorted octahedron. The structure is compared to other nickel(II) cation complexes, and possible reasons for the bonding states are discussed.
