title: Hexakis(1H-imidazole-κN)nickel(II) bis-(2,4-dibromo-6-formyl-phenolate) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: In the cation of the title compound, [Ni(C(3)H(4)N(2))(6)](C(7)H(3)Br(2)O(2))(2)·2C(3)H(7)NO, the Ni(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment by six N atoms from six imidazole ligands. In the crystal structure, cations, anions and solvent mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains along [010]. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
