Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of tetra-kis-(3-methyl-pyridine-κ N)bis-(thio-cyanato-κ N)nickel(II)
{{output}}
Reaction of Ni(NCS)2 with 3-methyl-pyridine in water leads to the formation of crystals of the title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C6H7N)4]. All of them are of poor quality and non-merohedrally twinned but a refinement using data in HKLF-5 format leads to a reasonable s... ...
