Abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(NCS)₂(C₁₄H₁₃N₃)₂]·2CH₃OH, the Ni^II atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is in a slightly distorted octahedral NiN₆ coordination environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by a combination of weak - stacking interactions between symmetry-related 1,10-phenanthroline ligands [centroi-centroid distance between benzene rings = 3.5936 (18) Å] and weak O-HS, C-HO and C-HS hydrogen bonds between methanol and complex molecules.
