In situ XAS data of Ni(II) chloride solutions with various salinities (0–7.68 m) were collected to investigate the stoichiometry and geometry of Ni(II) chloride complexes from room temperature up to 369 °C at 400 bar, and to 434 °C at 600 bar. Increasing temperature and/or salinity results in a change in the coordination of the Ni(II) chlorocomplexes from octahedral to (distorted) tetrahedral. Octahedral species predominate within the whole salinity range at room temperature and up to ~ 200 °C, and tetrahedral species become significant beyond this temperature. At 369 °C and 400 bar, octahedral species remain in equilibrium with tetrahedral species, and the number of chloride ligands in the first coordination shell depends on the Cl:Ni molar ratio. EXAFS refinements and ab initio XANES calculations show that the highest order chlorocomplex present over the investigated pressure, temperature and composition ranges is the distorted tetrahedral complex [NiCl3(H2O)]−, which predominates in the highest Cl concentration (7.68 m) solution at 434 °C and 600 bar. A quantitative thermodynamic analysis of the XANES and EXAFS data reveals that the XAS data are consistent with the speciation models derived from recent UV-Vis spectrophotometric measurements (25 °C–250 °C, 100 bar; Liu et al., 2012b) and the high temperature, high pressure solubility experiments of Lin and Popp (1984) and Fahlquist and Popp (1989), if the NiCl2(aq) species exists in both octahedral ([NiCl2(H2O)4](aq)) and tetrahedral ([NiCl2(H2O)2](aq)) forms, with the ratio of octahedral to tetrahedral decreasing at high temperature (> 200 °C). The new XAS data show that the octahedral to tetrahedral transition in Ni(II) chloride complexes occurs at higher temperature and/or salinity than the corresponding Co(II) complexes (Liu et al., 2011).
► First in situ XAS data of Ni(II) chloride complexing to 600 bar, 434 °C, and 7.68 m Cl
► The highest order chloride complex was NiCl3(H2O).
► The species NiCl2(aq) exists in octahedral (low T) and tetrahedral (high T) forms.
► The XANES and EXAFS data are consistent with available solubility and UV-Vis data.
