The title compound, [Ni(C15H11N3)2][Au(CN)2]2, is an ionic compound composed of bis-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)-nickel(II) dications and dicyanidoaurate(I) anions in a 1:2 ratio. The two tridentate terpyridine ligands define the coordination of the Ni(2+) cation, resulting in a nearly octa-hedral coordination sphere, although there is not any imposed crystallographic symmetry about the Ni(2+) site. The two nearly linear dicyanidoaurate(I) anions [C-Au-C = 179.0 (2) and 178.2 (2)°] contain a short ...[more]
