title: Hexakis(1H-imidazole-κN)nickel(II) bis-(3-thienylacetate).
abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C(3)H(4)N(2))(6)](C(6)H(5)O(2)S)(2), the Ni(II) atom displays an octa-hedral coordination geometry, defined by six N atoms from the imidazole ligands. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the cationic complex and 3-thienylacetate anions form a three-dimensional network architecture. The two 3-thienylacetate anions are disordered, with occupancy ratios of circa 0.774 (1):0.226 (1) and ca 0.753 (5):0.247 (5).
