Poly[bis­(methanol-κO)tris­(μ-pyrimidine-κ(2) N:N′)tetra­kis(thio­cyanato-κN)dinickel(II)]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(2)(NCS)(4)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(3)(CH(3)OH)(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 μ-N:N′ pyrimidine-bridged zigzag-like nickel thio­cyanate chains; these are further linked by μ-N:N-bridging pyrimidine ligands into layers which are stacked perpendicular to the b axis. The layers are connected via weak O—H⋯S hydrogen bonding.
