    Abstract:
    The structure of the title compound (3) has been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray analysis from photographic data by the heavy-atom method, and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R 0.099 for 3709 independent reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions: a = 10.49(2), b = 12.10(2), c = 23.16(3) Å, β = 90.62(20)°. The nickel atom co-ordination is trans square planar with mean Ni-P and Ni-Cl 2.250(2) and 2.171(2) Å. The phosphorinan ligands are in chair conformations with the phenyl substituent of one ring axial, and that of the other equatorial; the former ring is more flattened at phosphorus.
