Bis[2-(2-oxoindolin-3-yl-idene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothio-amidato-κ(3)O,N(2),S]nickel(II) dimethyl-formamide monosolvate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(11)N(4)OS)(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, contains one Ni(II) complex mol-ecule and one disordered dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule. The Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two N, two O and two S atoms. An intra-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯S, N-H⋯O, C-H⋯N, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into infinite two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane. The structure is further stablized by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.514 (15):0.486 (15) ratio.
