Bis[benzyl N'-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl-ene)hydrazinecarbodithio-ato-κN',S]nickel(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate

In the title compound, [Ni(C(17)H(14)N(3)S(2))(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the Ni atom (site symmetry ) is N,S-chelated by two deprotonated Schiff base anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes within the ligand is 86.37 (13)°. In the crystal structure, an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the complex to the dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule.
