title: 1-(4-Cyano-benz-yl)-3,5-dimethyl-pyridinium bis-(benzene-1,2-dithiol-ato)nickelate(III).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(15)H(15)N(2))[Ni(C(6)H(4)S(2))(2)], contains half each of two independent centrosymmetric anions and a single cation in a general position. The Ni(III) ions are coordinated by four S atoms in a square-planar geometry. The anions exhibit two packing modes, viz. stacked along the a axis in a face-to-face fashion with an alternate arrangement of anions and cations, and stacked in a side-by-side fashion, forming ribbons parallel to (011).
