title: cis-Aqua-bis(2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolato-κO,O')(N,N-dimethyl-formamide-κO)nickel(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C(7)H(3)Cl(2)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolate ligands, one O atom from a water ligand and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide ligand in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed though O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds; π-π stacking inter-actions, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.796 (2) Å, are also found.
