[Hexane-2,5-dione bis(thiosemicarbazonato)]nickel(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ni(C8H14N6S2)], the NiII ion is coordinated by N2S2 donor atoms of the tetradentate thio­semicarbazone ligand, and has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, inversion-related mol­ecules are linked via pairs of N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming R 2 2(8) ring motifs. Mol­ecules are further linked by slightly weaker N—H⋯N, N—H⋯S and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks which lie parallel to the bc plane.
