Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title com-pound, [Ni(NCS)2(CH3CN)2(C12H9NO)2] or Ni(NCS)2(4-benzoyl-pyridine)2(aceto-nitrile)2, the NiII ions are octa-hedrally coordinated by the N atoms of two thio-cyanate anions, two 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands and two aceto-nitrile mol-ecules into discrete com-plexes that are located on centres of inversion. In the crystal, the discrete com-plexes are linked by centrosymmetric pairs of weak C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into chains. Thermogravimetric measurements prove that, upon heating, the title com-plex loses the two aceto-nitrile ligands and transforms into a new crystalline modification of the chain com-pound [Ni(NCS)2(4-benzoyl-pyridine)2], which is different from that of the corresponding CoII, NiII and CdII coordination polymers reported in the literature. IR spectroscopic investigations indicate the presence of bridging thio-cyanate anions but the powder pattern cannot be indexed and, therefore, this structure is unknown.
