metal-organic compounds
catena-Poly[trimethylammonium [diaquanickel(II)-di-μ-chloro] chloride], [(CH3)3NH][NiCl2(H2O)2]Cl, is built up by infinite chains of Cl-edge-sharing trans-[NiCl4(H2O)2] octahedra separated by trimethylammonium cations and discrete Cl− anions. The compound is isostructural with the Co and Mn compounds, with negligible modifications caused by the difference of the ionic radii of the metal ions. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the discrete Cl− ions and the water molecules and also between the trimethylammonium ions and the water molecules.
