BaNiC4Br crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Br(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) and two equivalent Br(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiC4Br2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. C(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ni(1) and one C(1) atom. Br(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrBa4Ni2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
