In the title complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)O(2)S)(C(26)H(24)P(2))]·CH(3)OH, the nickel(II) centre adopts an approximately square-planar geometry, with the Ni atom coordinating to the S and O atoms of the bidentate thio-salicylate ligand and the two P atoms of the chelating Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2) ligand. There is hydrogen bonding between the methanol solvent mol-ecule and the carbonyl O atom of the thio-salicylate ligand.
