Abstract: In the title complex, [NiCl₂(C₅H₅NO)₄], the Ni^II atom lies on a special position with twofold rotation symmetry and assumes an elongated octahedral NiN₄Cl₂ configuration defined by two Cl^- ions occupying the axial sites [Ni-Cl = 2.4953  (8)  Å] and four N atoms of 3-hydroxypyridine ligands in the equatorial plane [average Ni-N = 2.119  (2)  Å]. A two-dimensional hydrogen-bonding framework is formed by O-HCl interactions.
