1-(2,4-Dichloro-benz-yl)pyridinium bis-(2-sulfanyl-idene-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiol-ato-κS,S')nickelate(III).

In the title compound, (C(12)H(10)Cl(2)N)[Ni(C(3)S(5))(2)], the Ni(III) atom is chelated by two bidentate 2-sulfanyl-idene-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiol-ate (dmit) dianions and shows a distorted square-planar geometry. The two dmit ligands are twisted with respect to each other by 3.21 (2)°. In the cation, the two aromatic groups linked by the methyl-ene bridging group form a dihedral angle of 68.09 (2)°. S⋯S [3.6212 (11) and 3.5573 (9) Å] and Ni⋯S [3.566 (2)Å] inter-actions influence the arrangement of the anions in the crystal.
