The title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C9H8N2)4], crystallizes with two independent half-molecules in the asymmetric unit and the NiII ions situated on centres of symmetry. In both independent molecules, the NiII ion displays a compressed octahedral environment formed by four N atoms from the 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole ligands, which define the equatorial plane, with a mean Ni—N distance of 2.119 (11) Å, and two axial N atoms from two NCS− anions, with a mean Ni—N distance of 2.079 (7) Å. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular S
S contacts of 3.411 (2) Å.

The title complex molecule, [Ni(NCS)2(C11H10N2O)4], has a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry. The NiII atom is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-arranged NCS− anions and four 1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethanone ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, C—HS hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further connected by C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane.
S hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further connected by C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane.
