title: Dichlorido(dimethyl-formamide-κO)[1,4,7-tris-(2-cyano-ethyl)-1,4,7-triaza-cyclo-nonane-κN,N,N]nickel(II).
abstract: The title complex, [NiCl(2)(C(15)H(24)N(6))(C(3)H(7)NO)], is isomorphous with the Co(II) analogue. Three N-atom donors from the facially coordinating triaza macrocyclic ligand, one O-atom donor from dimethyl-formamide and two Cl(-) anions surround the Ni(II) ion in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. Inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions link the complex mol-ecules into a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
