Di­chlorido­(pyridine-κN)[2,3,5,6-tetra­kis­(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-κ(3) N (2),N (1),N (6)]nickel(II)

In the title complex, [NiCl(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(C(24)H(16)N(6))], the Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment defined by three N atoms of the tridentate 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridyl­pyrazine ligand, one N atom of the pyridine ligand and two Cl(−) anions, with the latter being mutually trans. The complex is disposed about a twofold rotation axis along the a axis. The complex molecules are connected in the crystal via C—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯N and π–π [closest inter-centroid separation = 3.7446 (14) Å between pyridyl rings]. [Image: see text]
