Tetra-kis{1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl-κN(3))phen-yl]ethanone}bis-(isothio-cyanato-κN)nickel(II).
The title complex mol-ecule, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(11)H(10)N(2)O)(4)], has a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry. The Ni(II) atom is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-arranged NCS(-) anions and four 1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]ethan-one ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules into chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further connected by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane.
