Ni(O2Cl)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four nickel(2+);dichloride;tetrahydrate molecules. Ni(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one Cl(1), and one Cl(2) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom.
