Abstract: The reaction of nickel(II) chloride with 3-methoxyaniline yielded dichloridotetrakis(3-methoxyaniline)nickel(II), [NiCl2(C7H9NO)4], as yellow crystals. The NiII ion is pseudo-octahedral with the chloride ions trans to each other. The four 3-methoxyaniline ligands differ primarily due to different conformations about the Ni—N bond, which also affect the hydrogen bonding. Intermolecular N—H... Cl hydrogen bonds and short Cl...Cl contacts between molecules link them into chains parallel to the b axis.
