Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C₃H₄N₂)₆]SO₄·2H₂O, was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The Ni^II atom lies on a site of point symmetry and is coordinated by six imidazole ligands in a regular octahedral geometry. The sulfate anion is disordered about a site of 32 point symmetry; water molecules lie on sites of 32 point symmetry and on general positions. The coordinated imidazole molecules make N-HO hydrogen bonds with the sulfate anions.
