Ni(NI)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) and four equivalent I(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) and four equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms.
