%X The crystal structure of bis (2,2&#8242;:6&#8242;,2&#8243;-terpyridine)nickel(II) bis (perchlorate) hydrate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . The compound is monoclinic, space group P21, with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a 8.827(4), b 8.910(2), c 20.148(9) &#506;, &#946; 98.71(2)&#176;. The structure was refined by least-squares to a residual of 0.065 for 2184 observed reflections. The compound is found to be isomorphic with the iron(II) analogue previously reported: the cation has approximate D2d symmetry, with the main distortion from octahedral symmetry being an axial compression. Both the solid state reflectance and solution spectra have been measured and some significant differences are noted.
