{2-[2-(Ethyl­amino)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]-5-methoxy­phenolato}thio­cyanato­nickel(II)

In the title mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C(12)H(17)N(2)O(2))(NCS)], the metal atom is four-coordinated in a tetra­hedrally distorted square-planar geometry by the phenolate O atom, the imine N atom and the amine N atom of the Schiff base ligand and by the N atom of a thio­cyanate ligand. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules are linked into dimers through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are further connected by inter­molecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains running parallel to [101].
