The crystal structure described by NiO8(SO2)2 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two sulfur dioxide molecules and one NiO8 cluster. In the NiO8 cluster, Ni(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(5) atom. In the second O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni(1) and one O(5) atom. In the third O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(2) and one O(3) atom. In the fourth O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
