Bis[1-hydroxy-3-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thionato-O,S]nickel(II)

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [Ni(C 6 H 6 NOS) 2 ], the Ni atom is coordinated by a slightly distorted planar array of two S and two O atoms. The two 1-hydroxy-3-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione (3-Me-HPT) ligands adopt a cis configuration. The average Ni-O and Ni-S bond lengths are 1.868 (2) and 2.130 (1) A, respectively.
