Dichloridobis(thio-urea-?S)nickel(II).

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [NiCl(2)(CH(4)N(2)S)(2)], has been synthesized from the previously reported (diamino-methyl-idene)sulfonium chloride-thio-urea (3/2) salt [Zouihri (2012b ?). Acta Cryst. E68, o257]. The Ni(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two mol-ecules of thio-urea [Ni-S = 2.3079?(7) and 2.3177?(6)?Å] and two chloride anions [Ni-Cl = 2.2516?(7) and 2.2726?(7)?Å]. The bond angles at the Ni atom lie between 96.69?(2) and 115.40?(3)°, while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two thio-urea ligands is 6.36?(15)°. The crystal structure is characterized by intra- and inter-molecular N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the ab plane. The networks are linked via classical N-H?Cl and N-H?S hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional arrangement.
