title: Intra- and intermolecular C-h.pi interactions in bis[benzyl 3-(fluoren-9-ylidene)dithiocarbazato-N3,S]nickel(II).
abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C(21)H(15)N(2)S(2))(2)], has a novel cis configuration with two fluorene moieties on the same side. The Ni atom is in a square-planar configuration. The molecular packing is stabilized by intramolecular stacking between the fluorene moieties and extensive C-H.pi interactions.
