According to recent research from Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, "The title complex, [Ni2Cl4(C22H17N3)(2)], was synthesized solvothermally. The molecule is a centrosymmetric dimer with the unique Ni-II centre in a distorted octahedral N3Cl3 coordination environment."
"The chloride bridges are highly asymmetric. In the 4'-p-tolyl-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine ligand, the p-tolyl group is perfectly coplanar with the attached pyridine ring, and this differs from the situation found in previously reported compounds; however, there are no pi-pi interactions between the ligands. The terminal Cl atom forms four intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl ...
