title: Di-μ(1,1)-azido-bis-[azido-(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)nickel(II)].
abstract: In the title azide-bridged dinuclear centrosymmetric nickel(II) complex, [Ni(2)(N(3))(4)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)], the Ni(II) atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms of the 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and three N atoms from three azide ligands in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The Ni⋯Ni distance is 3.2398 (12) Å.
