Compounds 1 and 2 consist of hexaaquo ions, 1-Mecyt molecules, and chloride ions self-assembled through an extended network of hydrogen-bonding interactions. Compound 3 is made of [Ni(1-Mecyt)2Cl2] units, with the 1-Mecyt molecules directly coordinated to the metal centers through the N(3) and O(2) atoms. When crystals of compound 2 are allowed to stand in air for 1 week, a solid transformation occurs. The results of our investigation clearly suggest that a solid-state reaction takes place in 2, leading to 3. %I ACS Publications
