[N,N'-Bis(2-thiobenzylidene)-1,2-dimethyl-4,5-phenylenediaminato]nickel(II), Ni(tsaldimph)

{2,2'-[4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne-N)]bis(thiophenolato-S)}nickel(II), [Ni(C₂₂H₁₈N₂S₂)], is a square-planar NiN₂S₂ complex, formed from a Schiff base reaction of 2-tert-butylthiobenzaldehyde with 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-phenylenediamine, followed by coordination with nickel tetrafluoroborate. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn, with Ni-N distances of 1.920 (4) Å and Ni-S distances of 2.174 (4) Å.
