title: 3-Butyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bis-(1,2-dicyano-ethene-1,2-dithiol-ato-κS,S')nickel(III).
abstract: In the title compound, (C(8)H(15)N(2))[Ni(C(4)N(2)S(2))(2)], the Ni(III) atom is coordinated by four S atoms of two maleonitrile-dithiol-ate ligands and exhibits a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected alternately by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along [201].
