The reaction of tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) dichloride dihydrate with potassium dichromate or potassium chromate results in the formation of mixed metallic compounds tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) dichromate [Ni(en) 3 ][Cr 2 O 7 ] (1) (en ¼ ethylenediamine) and tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) chromate [Ni(en) 3 ][CrO 4 ] (2). Both compounds were characterized by analysis, spectra, magnetic susceptibility, and the structure of 1 was determined. [Ni(en) 3 ][Cr 2 O 7 ] (1) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2(1)/c and its structure consists of a [Ni(en) 3 ] 2þ dication and a dichromate dianion, with all the atoms situated in a general position. Two carbons of one coordinated (en) in 1 and the hydrogens attached to the amine nitrogen in the same ligand are disordered over two positions. In the crystal structure, tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) cations are linked to the [Cr 2 O 7 ] 2À anions with several weak hydrogen bonding interactions resulting in an extended network. The versus T plots of 1 and 2 reveal simple paramagnetic behavior.
