1-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)pyridinium bis(2-sulfanylidene-1,3-dithiole-4,5- dithiolato-κ2 S,S′)nickelate(III)

Abstract

In the title compound, (C12H10Cl2N) [Ni(C3S5)2], the NiIII atom is chelated by two bidentate 2-sulfanyl-idene-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiol-ate (dmit) dianions and shows a distorted square-planar geometry. The two dmit ligands are twisted with respect to each other by 3.21 (2)°. In the cation, the two aromatic groups linked by the methyl-ene bridging group form a dihedral angle of 68.09 (2)°. S⋯S [3.6212 (11) and 3.5573 (9) Å] and Ni⋯S [3.566 (2)Å] interactions influence the arrangement of the anions in the crystal.
