Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni₂(NCS)₄(C₄H₄N₂)₃(CH₃OH)₂]_n, each nickel(II) cation is coordinated by three N-bonded pyrimidine ligands, two N-bonded thiocyanate anions and one O-bonded methanol molecule in a distorted octahedral environment. The asymmetric unit consists of one nickel cation, two thiocyanate anions and one methanol molecule in general positions, as well as one pyrimidine ligand located around a twofold rotation axis. The crystal structure consists of -N:N' pyrimidine-bridged zigzag-like nickel thiocyanate chains; these are further linked by -N:N-bridging pyrimidine ligands into layers which are stacked perpendicular to the b axis. The layers are connected via weak O-HS hydrogen bonding.
