Tetra-kis{μ(3)-2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethano-lato}tetra-kis-[chloridonickel(II)] methanol solvate.

The complex mol-ecule of the title compound, [Ni(4)(C(4)H(10)NO(2))(4)Cl(4)]·CH(3)OH, consists of a cubane-like {Ni(4)O(4)} core in which each nickel(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by one N and four O atoms of three mono-deprotonated diethano-lamine ligands and by a chloride anion. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯Cl bonds. In the crystal structure, complex mol-ecules and methanol solvent mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
