Tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato-S,S')nickel(IV) 1,1,2,3,3-Pentacyanopropenide

The title compound, [Ni(C₅H₁₀NS₂)₃](C₈N₅), forms a structure with sheets consisting of alternate rows of cations and anions. The Ni atom in the cation has a distorted octahedral geometry. The planar [C₃(CN)₅]^- anion is significantly distorted from C_2v symmetry. The Ni-S distances range from 2.246 (2) to 2.257 (2) Å and the C-C distances in the allyl group of the anion are 1.19 (2) and 1.35 (2) Å.
