Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(N₃)₂(C₆H₁₀N₄)₂], the Ni^II atom, located on an inversion center, adopts an octahedral coordination geometry, with the basal plane formed by four N atoms of two 2,2'-biimidazoline ligands [Ni-N = 2.0701  (13)-2.1099  (14)  Å]. The apical positions are occupied by the two N atoms [Ni-N = 2.1851  (14)  Å] of the azide anions.
