Abstract: A novel nickel(II) mixed-ligand complex, [Ni(C₈H₄N₂S₂)(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)], containing a dithiolate and a phosphine derivative as ligands, was prepared from the reaction of Ni(dppe)Cl₂ [dppe is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] with H₂qdt (qdt is 2,3-quinoxalinedithiolate), using Et₃N as a base. The crystal structure of this compound shows a square-planar nickel environment. In the crystal structure, weak C-HS interactions are the principal intermolecular forces, mediating the formation of ribbons along the b axis.
