The Schiff base ligand in the title complex, [Ni(C15H22N3S2)2], lost a proton from its tautomeric thiol form and coordinated to Ni(II) via the mercapto S and β-N atoms. The geometry around the Ni atom is square planar with two equivalent Ni—N and Ni—S bonds. The two phenyl rings and the coordination moieties are in one plane forming an extensive electronic delocalization system. The structure is governed by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers.
