The title complex, [Ni(2)(C(11)H(11)Br(2)N(2)O)(2)(NCS)(2)], is a thio-cyanate-bridged dinuclear nickel(II) complex. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules. Both Ni atoms in each molecule have a square-pyramidal coordination geometry, and each center is bound by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and by one N atom of a bridging thio-cyanate ligand, which define the basal planes. N atoms from the bridging thio-cyanate ligands occupy the apical positions.
