trans-Bis(O-ethyl dithiocarbonato-S,S')bis(isoquinoline)nickel(II)

The Ni atom in the title compound, [Ni(C₂H₅OCS₂)₂(C₉H₇N)₂], has a distorted octahedral coordination. It lies on a twofold axis and in the plane formed by the four S atoms of the two chelating ethylxanthates. The two isoquinoline ligands occupy apical sites. The Ni-S and Ni-N bond lengths are 2.440 (2)-2.464 (2) and 2.091 (4) Å, respectively.
