{S-Benzyl 3-[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methylidene]dithiocarbazato}nickel(II) monohydrate.

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(C15H14N3S2)2]·H2O, has one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, along with a solvent water mol­ecule. The two different Schiff base moieties coordinate to the central NiII ion as tridentate N,N′,S-chelating ligands, creating a six-coordinate distorted octa­hedral environment [the smallest angle being 77.43 (7)° and the widest angle being 169.99 (7)°]. The mean planes of the two ligands are nearly orthogonal to each other with an angle of 89.53 (6)°. The packing of the complex is supported by O—H(...)N and O—H(...)S hydrogen bonding between the solvent water mol­ecule and the uncoordinated N and S atoms of neighbouring ligands
