Reaction of different molar ratios of Ni(NCS)2 and 3‐bromopyridine in water, methanol or acetonitrile leads to the formation of two polymorphs of composition Ni(NCS)2(3‐bromopyridine)4 (1‐I and 1‐II), as well as Ni(NCS)2(3‐bromopyridine)2(H2O)2 (2), Ni(NCS)2(3‐Bromopyridine)2(CH3OH)2 (3), Ni(NCS)2(3‐bromopyridine)2 ⋅ CH3CN (4) and Ni(NCS)2(3‐bromopyridine)2 (5). Compounds 1‐I, 1‐II, 2 and 3 consist of discrete octahedral complexes with terminal N‐bonded anionic ligands. In compound 4 the Ni cations are cis‐cis‐trans coordinated and linked into corrugated chains by pairs of μ‐1,3‐bridging thiocyanate anions. Solvent mediated conversion experiments prove that form 1‐I represents the thermodynamically stable polymorph at room temperature. TG‐DTA measurements reveal that upon heating compounds 1‐I, 1‐II, 2 and 3 lose their coligands stepwise and transform into the new crystalline phase 5 that can also be obtained from solution if the reaction is performed in n‐butanol. If the acetonitrile solvate molecules are removed from compound 4, it also transforms into 5. DC magnetic measurements for compound 4 show a maximum, which is indicative for antiferromagnetic ordering, whereas for compound 5 no magnetic ordering is observed. For both compounds, the ferromagnetic exchange constants were determined.
