Bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)bis(tetrahydrofuran)nickel(II),[Ni(C5HF6O2)2(C4H8O)2],M(r) = 617.0, tetragonal, P4(2)/mnm, a = 8.524 (2), c = 17.452 (4) angstrom, V = 1267.9 (5) angstrom 3, D(x) = 1.616 Mg m-3, Z = 2, mu = 0.882 mm-1, lambda(Mo K-alpha) = 0.71073 angstrom, F(000) = 620, T = 298 K, R = 0.065 and wR = 0.0935 for 312 averaged reflections with I > 3-sigma(I). The X-ray crystal structure of an octahedral Ni(II) complex containing hexafluoroacetylacetonato (hfa) ligands is reported. The Ni atom resides at the cell origin and forms bonds to two equatorial hfa ligands and two molecules of THF that are coordinated axially in a trans configuration. The complex is distorted tetragonally and possesses D2h point group symmetry.
