Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C₁₀H₂₂N₂S₂)], contains a square-planar Ni center coordinated by the tetradentate ligand 3,3'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(methylimino)]dipropane-1-thiolate. Upon chelation, the N₂S₂ ligand generates one five-membered chelate ring containing the N donors and two six-membered chelate rings in chair conformations, each containing one N and one S donor. The cis S donors, which are not directly linked together, form an acute S-Ni-S angle of 82.965 (18)° due to ligand constraints.
