Bis[di(2-aminoethyl)amine-N,N',N'']nickel(II) Chloride Monohydrate, a Redetermination

A redetermination of the structure of the title compound, [Ni(C₄H₁₃N₃)₂]Cl².H₂O, from diffractometer data leads to considerably more accurate geometric parameters than those obtained in a previous determination using film data. The coordination geometry around the Ni^II atom in the [Ni(C₄H₁₃N₃)₂]²⁺ cation is distorted octahedron, with the Ni-N distances in the range 2.083 (4)-2.166 (4) Å and the trans- N-Ni-N 161.9 (2)-177.5 (2)°
