Bis(tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium) bis-[N-(octyl-sulfon-yl)dithio-carbimato(2-)-κS,S']-nickelate(II).

The Ni atom in the title complex, (C(24)H(20)P)(2)[Ni(C(9)H(17)NO(2)S(3))(2)], lies on a twofold axis within a square-planar geometry defined by four S atoms derived from two dithio-carbimate dianions, each forming a four-membered chelate ring. A small distortion, described by a deviation of the Ni(II) atom by 0.083 (1) Šfrom the plane through the four S atoms, and also by the torsion angles about the Ni-S bonds, implies a folded conformation for the chelate ring.
