title: μ-Cyanido-1:2κN:C-tricyanido-2κC-(rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexa-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-1κN,N',N'',N''')dinickel(II) N,N-di-methyl-formamide monosolvate hemi-hydrate.
abstract: The two Ni(II) atoms in the title complex, [Ni(2)(CN)(4)(C(16)H(36)N(4))]·C(3)H(7)NO·0.5H(2)O, are bridged by a cyanide ion. The macrocycle folds around one Ni(II) atom, which is five-coordinated in an NiN(5) square-pyramidal geometry. The other Ni(II) atom is surrounded by the cyanide ions in an NiN(4) square-planar geometry. The dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule is disordered over two positions in a 0.62 (1):0.38 (1) ratio and the water mol-ecule is disordered about a center of inversion. The dinuclear mol-ecule and solvent mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
