Catena-Poly[[dipyridine-nickel(II)]-trans-di-?-chlorido] from powder data.

ABSTRACT: The asymetric unit of the title compound, [NiCl(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n), contains two Ni(II) ions located on different twofold rotational axes, two chloride anions and two pyridine rings in general positions. Each Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two pyridine rings, which form dihedral angles of 33.0?(2) and 11.0?(2)° for the two centers, and four chloride anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The chloride anions bridge Ni(II) ions related by translation along the short b axes into two crystallographically independent polymeric chains.
