Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(Ph2PCH2PPh2)2](ClO4)2, was synthesized and its structure determined crystallographically. The Ni atom lies on an inversion centre and is at the center of a square formed by four P atoms which are necessarily coplanar. The Ni—P distances are 2.2188 (5) and 2.2322 (5) Å, and the P—Ni—P angle is 73.12 (3)°. The unique perchlorate anion is not coordinated to the Ni atom.
