Bis{2-[3-(hydroxyimino-κN)butan-2-ylidene]-N-methylhydrazinecarbothioamide-κ2N2,S}nickel(II) dichloride

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C6H12N4OS)(2)]Cl-2, contains two independent Ni-II complex cations and four chloride anions. Each Ni-II ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four N atoms from the two imine and two oxime groups and two S atoms from the thione group. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked through N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and O-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds into infinite chains propagating along [10 (1) over bar]. Weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds are also observed.
