Bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) bis-[N-(octylsulfonyl)dithio-carbimato(2-)- κ2 S,S′]nickelate(II)

Abstract

The Ni atom in the title complex, (C24H20P)2[Ni(C9H17NO2S3)2], lies on a twofold axis within a square-planar geometry defined by four S atoms derived from two dithio-carbimate dianions, each forming a four-membered chelate ring. A small distortion, described by a deviation of the NiII atom by 0.083 (1) Å from the plane through the four S atoms, and also by the torsion angles about the Ni - S bonds, implies a folded conformation for the chelate ring. © International Union of Crystallography 2008.
