Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bis­[4-(2-amino­eth­yl)morpholine-κ(2) N,N′]di­aqua­nickel(II) dichloride

The title coordination compound, [Ni(C(6)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2), was synthesized by mixing 4-(2-amino­eth­yl)morpholine and nickel chloride in double-distilled water. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of an Ni(II) cation (located on an inversion centre), one 4-(2-amino­eth­yl)morpholine ligand, one coordinated water mol­ecule and one chloride ion outside the metal coordination sphere. The nickel ion is in a octa­hedral environment of the N(4)O(2) type, coordinating four N atoms from two 4-(2-amino­eth­yl)morpholine ligands and two trans-located O atoms from two water mol­ecules. The morpholine ligand was found disordered over two positions with a site occupancy ratio of 0.708 (8):0.292 (8). The crystal structure is consolidated by N—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms that van der Waals inter­actions are prevalent in the crystal packing of the synthesized complex.
