Aquachloridobis[2-(1,3-thia-zol-4-yl-κN)-1H-benzimidazole-κN(3)]nickel(II) nitrate.

In the title compound, [NiCl(C(10)H(7)N(3)S)(2)(H(2)O)]NO(3), the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 2-(1,3-thia-zol-4-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands, one Cl atom and one water mol-ecule in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex cations and nitrate anions into a three-dimensional network. π-π inter-actions between the thia-zole and imidazole rings and between the thia-zole and benzene rings are observed [centroid-centroid distances = 3.592 (3) and 3.735 (3) Å].

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
