title: 3,5-Dimethyl-1-(4-nitro-benz-yl)pyridinium bis-(benzene-1,2-dithiol-ato-κ(2)S,S')nickelate(III).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(14)H(15)N(2)O(2))[Ni(C(6)H(4)S(2))(2)], contains one cation and two halves of two centrosymmetric crystallographically independent anions. In the anions, the Ni(III) atoms are coordinated by four S atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the cation, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 88.66 (17)°. In the crystal, anions and cations inter-act through C-H⋯S and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
