In the title compound, [Ni(C15H14N3O2S)2], the NiII atom lies on a center of symmetry. The deprotonated ligands act as N,S-donors, forming five-membered metalla-rings. The NiII atom is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment. In the crystal, the discrete complex molecules are linked by weak N—HO hydrogen bonds, generating chains along [110]. The chains are further connected via weak O—HN interactions into a layered network extending parallel to (001).
