Bis­[chloro­bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐N,N′)(thio­urea‐S)­nickel(II)] chloride nitrate diethanol solvate

The crystal structure of the title compound, NiCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(CH₄N₂S)]₂(NO₃)­Cl·­2C₂H₆O, is formed by Ni(phen)₂(thio­urea)Cl]⁺ cations (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline), chloride and nitrate counter‐ions, and ethanol solvate mol­ecules. The Ni atom is octahedrally coordinated to two bidentate phen ligands, a monodentate thio­urea and a chloride ion. Both the chloride and nitrate anions, which provide charge balance, are located at special positions on a twofold symmetry axis. Hydro­gen bonds play a key role in the packing and conformation of the cation and create a three‐dimensional network.
