In the title complex, [NiCl2(C12H9N3)2]·H2O, a divalent nickel atom is coordinated by two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment defined by four N donors of two N,N′-chelating ligands, along with two cis-oriented anionic chloride donors. The title complex crystallized with a water mol­ecule disordered over two positions. In the crystal, a combination of O—H⋯Cl, O—H.·O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, together with C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions, links the complex mol­ecules and the water mol­ecules to form a supra­molecular three-dimensional framework. The title complex is isostructural with the cobalt(II) dichloride complex reported previously [Das et al. (2011[Das, S., Guha, S., Banerjee, A., Lohar, S., Sahana, A. & Das, D. (2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097-7104.]). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097–7107].

Structure description

Transition-metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (TH) is an effective method of reducing ketones to the corresponding secondary alcohols (Zhu et al., 2014[Zhu, X.-H., Cai, L., Wang, C., Wang, Y., Guo, X. & Hou, X. (2014). J. Mol. Catal. A Chem. 393, 134-141.]). Generally, the method is operationally simple, selective, and sources hydrogen from alcohols, thus avoiding high pressures of H2 gas (Zhu et al., 2014[Zhu, M. (2014). Appl. Catal. Gen. 479, 45-48.]). Several transition-metal complexes have been studied in catalytic TH and have been used on laboratory and industrial scales. Complexes of precious metals (Rh, Ir, and Ru) have been the preferred catalysts for TH owing to their high activity and commercial availability (Raja et al., 2012[Raja, N. & Ramesh, R. (2012). Tetrahedron Lett. 53, 4770-4774.]; Wang et al., 2015[Wang, D. & Astruc, D. (2015). Chem. Rev. 115, 6621-6686.]; Li et al., 2015[Li, Y. Y., Yu, S. L., Shen, W. Y. & Gao, J. X. (2015). Acc. Chem. Res. 48, 2587-2598.]). With growing concern surrounding the economic and environmental impact of using precious metals in chemistry, a renewed inter­est in Earth-abundant metal catalysis has prompted our research into TH catalysts featuring first-row transition metals, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel (Morris, 2009[Morris, R. H. (2009). Chem. Soc. Rev. 38, 2282-2291.]; Garduño & García, 2017[Garduño, J. A. & García, J. J. (2017). ACS Omega, 2, 2337-2343.]; Abubakar et al., 2018[Abubakar, S. & Bala, M. D. (2018). J. Coord. Chem. 71, 2913-2923.]; Chen et al., 2010[Chen, Z., Zeng, M., Zhang, Y., Zhang, Z. & Liang, F. (2010). Appl. Organomet. Chem. 24, 625-630.]). Recognizing that nickel(II) complexes of chiral bis­(phosphines) have been utilized in asymmetric TH, we turned our attention to nickel(II) complexes of the commercially available ligand 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole.

The asymmetric unit of the title complex consists of a NiII ion coordinated by two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands bound in a κ2-N,N arrangement, along with two cis-oriented anionic chloride donors (Fig. 1[link]). The complex crystallized as a monohydrate with the water mol­ecule disordered over two sites (Fig. 1[link]). The metal center adopts a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The pyridyl N-donor atoms are trans-disposed [N1—Ni1—N4 = 170.66 (8)°], while the chloride ligands are cis-disposed [Cl2—Ni1—Cl1 = 93.04 (2)°]. The disordered water mol­ecules are linked to the complex mol­ecule by O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, and water H atom H2B is directed to the centroid of the C7–C12 ring (Fig. 1[link], Table 1[link]).

In the crystal, extensive hydrogen bonding is observed involving the disordered water mol­ecule, the ligand NH groups and the chloride ions (Fig. 2[link]a and 2b and Table 1[link]). The result is the formation of a supra­molecular three-dimensional network (Fig. 3[link]). There are also C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions present (Table 1[link]) consolidating the packing.

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.40, May 2019; Groom et al., 2016[Groom, C. R., Bruno, I. J., Lightfoot, M. P. & Ward, S. C. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179.]) revealed that the title compound is isostructural with the cobalt(II) complex di­chlorido­bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole]­cobalt(II) monohydrate (CSD refcode DACRIK; Das et al., 2011[Das, S., Guha, S., Banerjee, A., Lohar, S., Sahana, A. & Das, D. (2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097-7104.]). The later was reported in space group C2/c but transformation of the unit cell gives space group I2/a (ADDSYMM in PLATON; Spek, 2020[Spek, A. L. (2020). Acta Cryst. E76, 1-11.]) with almost identical cell parameters to those of the title complex – see Fig. 4[link].

(2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097-7104.]).

Synthesis and crystallization

The reaction scheme for the synthesis of the title complex is given in Fig. 5[link]. A solution of 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (0.15 g, 0.78 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml) was added dropwise to a stirring ethano­lic solution of bis­(tri­phenyl­phosphine)nickel(II) dichloride (0.50 g, 0.76 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The resulting mixture was concentrated and the product isolated by addition of diethyl ether (5 ml) giving a light-brown solid. Yield: 0.27 g (68%). Analysis calculated for C24H18Cl2N6Ni: C, 55.43; H, 3.49; N, 16.16%. Found: C, 55.23; H, 3.59; N, 16.25%. Light-blue plate-like crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, were obtained by slow evaporation of a concentrated ethanol solution.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. The O-, N- and C-bound H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding on the parent atom: O—H = 0.85 Å, N—H = 0.88 Å, C—H = 0.95 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) and 1.2Ueq(N,C).
