Di-chlorido-(pyridine-κ)[2,3,5,6-tetra-kis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-κ , , ]nickel(II).

In the title complex, [NiCl(CHN)(CHN)], the Ni ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment defined by three N atoms of the tridentate 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridyl-pyrazine ligand, one N atom of the pyridine ligand and two Cl anions, with the latter being mutually . The complex is disposed about a twofold rotation axis along the axis. The complex molecules are connected in the crystal C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯N and π-π [closest inter-centroid separation = 3.7446 (14) Å between pyridyl rings].
