Binding energies of 23 Rydberg fine-structure levels of Ni with n = 9 and L{>=}5 were measured using resonant excitation Stark ionization spectroscopy. From this spectrum, the quadrupole moment and the scalar and tensor dipole polarizability of the {sup 2}D{sub 5/2} ground state of Ni{sup +} were determined to be Q=-0.474(2), {alpha}{sub d,0}=7.92(6), and {alpha}{sub d,2}=1.15(14) a.u. The electric hexadecapole moment was determined to be -0.33(21) a.u.
