Bis[1-(3-cyanobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium] bis(1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato-[kappa]2S,S')nickelate(II)

C. Ni, J. Zhou and Y. Hou

Abstract top

The title complex, (C26H21NP)2[Ni(C4N2S2)2], is a salt of the mCNBzTPP+cation and the [Ni(mnt)2]2- anion [mCNBzTPP+ is the 1-(3-cyanobenzyltriphenylphosphonium) cation and mnt2- is the maleonitriledithiolate anion] and was prepared by the direct reaction of NiCl2, Na2mnt and (mCNBzTPP)+·Br- in ethanol. The asymmetric unit consists of two unique mCNBzTPP+cations and half each of two [Ni(mnt)2]2- anions with each Ni atom lying on an inversion centre. The NiII ions adopt a square-planar coordination geometry, binding to the S atoms of two mnt2- ligands. Both [mCNBzTPP]+ cations adopt conformations in which their four aromatic rings are twisted with respect to the planes that include the P atoms and the two C atoms linking them to the 3-cyanobenzyl rings. Three weak C-H...N hydrogen bonds play an important role in stabilizing the crystal structure.

Comment top

Much effort has been devoted to the study of square planar M(dithiolene)2 complexes (Robertson & Cronin, 2002; Ni et al., 2004; Nishijo et al., 2003; Canadell, 1999). Recently, we have carried out a systematic investigation on the coordination chemistry of salts containing Ni(mnt)2 anion and substituted benzyltriphenylphosphonium cations and obtained some Ni(mnt)22−-based molecular solids (Ni et al., 2005; Yang & Ni, 2006; Liu & Ni, 2006; Zhou et al., 2007). In this paper, we report the structure of the title compound, Fig. 1. There are two halves of non-equivalent Ni(mnt)22− anions and two (mCNBzTPP)+ cations in the asymmetric unit. For the two Ni(mnt)22− anions. The Ni1 and Ni2 atoms are each coordinated to four sulfur atoms and exhibit square planar coordination geometry with the Ni atoms lying on inversion centres. The N atoms of the four unique CN groups deviate from the C1/C2/Ni1/S1/S2 or C5/C6/Ni2/S3/S4 planes by 0.029 (3) Å for N1, −0.077 (3) Å for N2, −0.216 (2) Å for N3 and −0.242 (2) Å for N4 respectively.

The two (mCNBzTPP)+ cations adopt a conformation where four phenyl rings are twisted with respect to the plane including the P atom and the two C atoms linking it to the 3-cyanobenzyl ring. For the cation containing P1, the dihedral angles are 88.7 (3) for the C9/C10/C11/C12/C13/C14 ring, 84.0 (2) ° for the C17/C18/C19/C20/C21/C22 ring, 24.4 (2) ° for the C23/C24/C25/C26/C27/C28 ring, and 87.7 (2) ° for the C29/C30/C31/C32/C33/C34 ring. For the cation containing P2, the dihedral angles are 90.6 (3) for the C35/C36/C37/C38/C39/C40 ring, 93.2 (2) ° for the C43/C44/C45/C46/C47/C48 ring, 23.0 (2) ° for the C49/C50/C51/C52/C53/C54 ring, and 82.1 (2) ° for the C55/C56/C57/C58/C59/C60 ring. The deviations of the N5 and N6 atoms from the C9/C10/C11/C12/C13/C14 and C35/C36/C37/C38/C39/C40 phenyl ring planes are −0.052 (2)Å and 0.130 (2) Å respectively.

The crystal structure is stabilized by C10—H10···N4, C33—H33···N2 and C36—H36···N hydrogen bonds, Fig 2, Table 1.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by the direct reaction of NiCl2·6H2O, Na2mnt and (mCNBzTPP)+Br in methanol. Red block-shaped single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a CH3CN solution at room temperature over two weeks.
