title: Azidotetrakis(trimethylphosphine)nickel(II) tetrafluoroborate.
abstract: The title complex, [Ni(N3)(C3H9P)4]BF4, is a nearly perfect trigonal bipyramid with the azide group at an apical position. The metal-azide bond angle, Ni1--N1--N2, of 138.6(5) degrees is the largest observed for a terminal azide ligand.
