In the title polymeric complex, [Ni(C(2)H(6)NO(3)S)(2)](n), the Ni(II) ion occupies a special position on an inversion centre and displays a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, being linked to four sulfonate O atoms and to two N atoms of the taurine ligands. The sulfonate groups doubly bridge symmetry-related Ni(II) centers, forming polymeric chains along the a axis.
