G. Chen

Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(NCS)₂(C₅H₁₄N₂)]_n, is a thiocyanate-bridged polynuclear nickel(II) complex. The Ni atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry, with two N atoms of the N,N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine ligand and two N atoms from two thiocyanate ligands defining the basal plane, and one S atom of another thiocyanate ligand occupying the apical position. The [Ni(NCS)₂(C₅H₁₄N₂)] units are linked by bridging thiocyanate ligands, forming chains running along the b axis.
