The title compound, [Ni(C10H18S4)2], contains discrete centrosymmetric molecules and is a polymorph of a previously reported structure [Charlton, Hill, Underhill, Malik, Hursthouse, Karaulov & Møller, (1994), J. Mater Chem. 4, 1861-1866]. Unlike this earlier form, the title molecule, including the alkyl chains, is essentially planar, and contains no short SS intermolecular contacts.
