Abstract: The title complex, [Ni(NCS)₂(C₁₅H₁₆N₄O)], consists of nickel(II) coordinated by 2-(2-pyridyl)-5-[(2-pyridylmethylidene)aminomethyl]-1,3-oxazoline (L) and two N-coordinated thiocyanate ions. The coordination environment is NiN₆ distorted octahedral. Intermolecular N-HS hydrogen bonds link adjacent [Ni(SCN)₂(L)] molecules, forming a linear tape. In the synthesis, a five-membered ring has been formed by a nucleophilic addition reaction.
