title: Crystal structure of bromido-nitro-syl-bis(tri-phenyl-phosphane-κP)nickel(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [NiBr(NO){P(C6H5)3}2], comprises two independent mol-ecules each with a similar configuration. The Ni(II) cation is coordinated by one bromide anion, one nitrosyl anion and two tri-phenyl-phosphane mol-ecules in a distorted BrNP2 tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The coordination of the nitrosyl group is non-linear, the Ni-N-O angles being 150.2 (5) and 151.2 (5)° in the two independent mol-ecules. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions into a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
