1-(4-Bromo-2-fluoro-benz-yl)pyridinium bis-(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5- dithiol-ato)nickelate(III)

Abstract

The title compound, (C12H10BrFN)[Ni(C 3S5)2], is an ion-pair complex consisting of N-(2-fluoro-4-bromo-benz-yl)pyridinium cations and [Ni(dmit)2]- anions (dmit = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiol-ate). In the anion, the Ni III ion exhibits a square-planar coordination involving four S atoms from two dmit ligands. In the crystal structure, weak S⋯S [3.474 (3), 3.478 (3) and 3.547 (3) Å] and S⋯π [S⋯centroid distances = 3.360 (3), 3.378 (2), 3.537 (2) and 3.681 (3) Å] inter-actions and C - H⋯F hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
