3-1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolato)dipotassium(I)nickelate(II)] 1,2-dichloroethane solvate]The title complex, [K2Ni(C4N2S2)2(C12H24O6)2]·C2H4Cl2, consists of two symmetry-equivalent [K(18C6)]+ complex cations (18C6 = 18-crown-6), one centrosymmetric [Ni(i-mnt)2]2- complex anion (i-mnt = 1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolate), and a ClCH2CH2Cl solvent molecule that also lies on an inversion center. The [K(18C6)]+ cations and [Ni(i-mnt)2]2- complex anions form a two-dimensional network through K
N interactions.
To a solution of 18-crown-6 (2.0 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10.0 ml) was added 5 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane containing NiCl2 (0.5 mmol) and K2(i-mnt) (1 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature and then filtered. The precipitate was dissolved in 4:1 diethyl ether/1,2-dichloroethane. Colorless single crystals were obtained by slowly evaporating the solution. Elemental analysis found: H 5.02, C 39.08, N 5.36%; calculated for C34H52Cl2K2N4O12S4Ni: H 5.23, C 38.93, N 5.12%.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with 0.97Å and the Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C) for C-bound H atoms..

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, metal coordination complexes with one-dimensional polymeric structures have attracted interest owing to their important applications as materials with unusual properties (Chen &Suslick, 1993). The complexes formed by crown ethers, alkali metal cations, and transition metal bis(dithiolate) anions, in which the bis(dithiolate) ligands include i-mnt (Long et al., 1998) have attracted widespread interest due to their unusual crystal structures and nusual electrical, magnetic and optical properties (Nakamura et al., 1998). The title complex consists of two [K(18 C6)]+ complex cations, one centrosymmetric [Ni(i-mnt)2]2- complex anion, and a solvent molecule. The Ni atom is located on an inversion center and does not bond directly to the O atoms of the crown ether. It is coordinated by four S atoms from two i-mnt ligands. The NiS4 group is square planar. In the complex cation [K(18 C6)]+, the potassium ion lies within the crown ether cavity, 0.2038Å out of the plane formed by the six ether oxygen atoms. The K+ ion is also coordinated by two N atoms from i-mnt ligands of different [Ni(i-mnt)2]2- complex anions. Thus the [K(18 C6)]+ cations and [Ni(i-mnt)2]2- complex anions form a two-dimensional network bridged by K—N interactions. The solvent molecule also lies on an inversion center.
