title: Bis(2-dimethylamino-1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)nickel(II) methanol disolvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(14)H(13)N(3))(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Ni(II) atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is in a slightly distorted octa-hedral NiN(6) coordination environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by a combination of weak π-π stacking inter-actions between symmetry-related 1,10-phenanthroline ligands [centroi-centroid distance between benzene rings = 3.5936 (18) Å] and weak O-H⋯S, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds between methanol and complex mol-ecules.
