trans-Bis[O-2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl (4-methoxyphenyl)dithiophosphonato-kappa(2)S,S']nickel(II).

In the the title compound, [Ni(C(21)H(28)O(2)PS(2))(2)], the Ni atom resides on an inversion centre and is coordinated in a square-planar array by four S atoms, with Ni[bond]S and P[bond]S bond lengths of 2.2336 (12)/2.2351 (13) and 1.9910 (16)/2.0010 (17) A, respectively. The two O-2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl and two 4-methoxyphenyl moieties adopt trans configurations about the central Ni atom.
