Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of the Tris(ethylendiamine)nickel(II) Dichloride Dihydrate [Ni(H2NCH2CH2NH2)3]Cl2 ⋅ 2H2O Crystals

The conditions for synthesis of [Ni(H2NCH2CH2NH2)3]Cl2 ⋅ 2H2O ([Ni(en)3]Cl2 ⋅ 2H2O) crystals from aqueous solutions have been considered. The synthesized crystals have been comprehensively studied by methods of X-ray powder and single-crystal diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical spectroscopy.
