Bis(dicyanamido-κN 1)bis[2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine-κ2 N,O]nickel(II)

In the title complex, [Ni{N(CN)2}2(C7H9NO)2], the NiII ion (site symmetry ) adopts a distorted trans-NiO2N4 octahedral geometry. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming a chain along the c axis.
