Sodium maleonitriledithiolate is the chemical compound described by the formula Na2S2C2(CN)2. The name refers to the cis compound, structurally related to maleonitrile ((CH(CN))2). Maleonitriledithiolate is often abbreviated mnt. It is a "dithiolene", i.e. a chelating alkene-1,2-dithiolate. It is a prototypical non-innocent ligand in coordination chemistry. Several complexes are known, such as [Ni(mnt)2]2−.[2]: 143–146 

Sample of ([(CH3CH2)4N]+)2[Ni(mnt)2]2−.

The salt is synthesized by treating carbon disulfide with sodium cyanide to give the cyanodithioformate salt, which eliminates elemental sulfur in aqueous solution:[3]

8 NaCN + 8 CS2 → 4 Na2S2C2(CN)2 + S8

The compound was first described by Bähr and Schleitzer 1958.[4]
