Dichloridobis(phenyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime)nickel(II) acetone solvate.

The Ni atom in the title compound, [NiCl(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2)O)(2)]·C(3)H(6)O, adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry, being ligated by four N atoms from two different phenyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime ligands and two Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a chain structure along [010]. There is a π-π contact between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.824 (5) Å].
