Bis­(O,O′‐di‐p‐tolyldithiophosphato‐S,S′)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐N,N′)nickel(II)

The title coordination complex, [Ni(C₁₄H₁₄O₂PS₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)] or [Ni(pMePh‐dtp)₂(phen)] (phen is 1,10‐phenanthroline; dtp is di­aryl­di­thio­phosphate), has a non‐crystallographic twofold axis of symmetry through the Ni atom and the phen moiety. Two O,O‐di‐p‐tolyl­di­thio­phosphate (dtp) ions act as bidentate ligands. The central metal atom is coordinated by four S atoms from two dtp groups and two N atoms from the phen ligand. The title compound displays distorted octahedral geometry around the central Ni atom.
