title: μ-Acetato-bis-(μ-2-{[(3-chloro-2-hydroxy-prop-yl)(2-pyridylmeth-yl)amino]meth-yl}phenolato)dinickel(II) chloride.
abstract: The title salt, [Ni(2)(C(16)H(18)ClN(2)O(2))(2)(CH(3)COO)]Cl, features a dinuclear cation in which the Ni atoms are triply bridged by two phenolate O ligands and a bidentate acetate ligand with all of the bridging distances essentially symmetric. Each Ni atom is also coordinated by the amine N, pyridine N and hydr-oxy O atoms of the 2-{[(3-chloro-2-hydroxy-prop-yl)(2-pyridylmeth-yl)amino]meth-yl}phenolate ligand which is, therefore, penta-dentate. The resultant N(3)O(3) donor sets define octa-hedral coordination geometries. The chloride counter-anion is connected to the cation via two O(hydr-oxy)-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
