The cation of the title compound, tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)copper(II)] bis[bis(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato-S4,S5)nickelate(III)], [Cu(C10H8N2)3][Ni(C3S5)2]2, has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry with all Cu-N distances almost equivalent in an octahedral environment. The NiS4 coordination of the anion is significantly distorted from a square-planar geometry.
