Ni(NI)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) and four equivalent I(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ni(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
