In the title complex, [Ni(C6H9N2O3S)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the NiII atom lies on an inversion center and is chelated by N and O atoms of two symmetry-equivalent imidazolesulfonate ligands in the basal plane, and two water O atoms in axial positions in an overall octahedral configuration. The crystal structure displays O—H
O and N—HO hydrogen bonds, which connect the components into an extended three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, C23H16N2·0.5C6H6, the benzimidazole unit [maximum deviation = 0.0258 (6) Å] and the naphthalene ring system [maximum deviation = 0.0254 (6) Å] are both essentially planar and make a dihedral angle of 61.955 (17)°. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angle of 61.73 (4)° with the phenyl ring. An intramolecular C—HN hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, seven weak C—Hπ interactions involving the fused ring system, the benzene solvent molecule, the imidazole phenyl rings are observed, leading to a three-dimensional architecture.
