Ca(NiS2)4 is beta indium sulfide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent S2- atoms. All Ca–S bond lengths are 2.80 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni+3.50+ sites. In the first Ni+3.50+ site, Ni+3.50+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form edge-sharing NiS6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.27 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Ni–S bond lengths. In the second Ni+3.50+ site, Ni+3.50+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form edge-sharing NiS6 octahedra. All Ni–S bond lengths are 2.29 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Ca2+ and three Ni+3.50+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ni+3.50+ atoms.
