2S,S']nickelate(II)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 dithiocarbimate 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.
The octanesulfonamide was prepared from octanesulfonyl chloride in a similar procedure as described elsewhere (Vogel, 1966). Potassium N-(octylsulfonyl)dithiocarbimate was prepared from the sulfonamide using procedures described in the literature for analogous compounds Complex (I) was prepared in 1:1 (10 ml) methanol:water mixture from NiCl2.6H2O (1.0 mmol), potassium N-(octylsulfonyl)dithiocarbimate dihydrate (1.0 mmol) and tetraphenylphosphonium bromide (2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. The green solid obtained was filtered, washed with distilled water and dried under reduced pressure for 1 day. Suitable crystals of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent water/methanol (1:1 v/v); m. pt. 427.5–429.1 K. Analysis found: C 62.43, H 5.81, N 2.42, Ni 4.59; C66H74N2NiO4P2S6 requires: C 62.30, H 5.86, N 2.20, Ni 4.61%. IR (most important bands, cm-1): 1398 ν(C=N); 1268 νasym(SO2); 1123 νsym(SO2); 936 νasym(CS2) and 381 ν(NiS).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl-H atoms and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for other atoms. The bond distances C4–C5, C5–C6, C6–C7, C7–C8 and C8–C9 were restrained to 1.54 Å. The atoms C5 to C9 are very disordered and any attempt to model this disorder over multiple sites was not reliable.

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. |

We became interested in the syntheses and characterization of nickel(II) dithiocarbimates complexes due to their similarity with the dithiocarbamates, which have been used as molecular precursors for various nickel sulfides by MOCVD techniques (Hogarth, 2005). Some anionic nickel-dithiocarbimato complexes with general formula [Ni(RSO2N=CS2)2]2- (R = aryl or alkyl groups) have had their structures determined by X-ray diffraction techniques (Oliveira et al., 1997; Oliveira et al., 1999; Oliveira et al., 2003). However, only two of these complexes have the tetraphenylphosphonium as the counterion (Hummel & Korn, 1989) and only two were aliphatic (Oliveira et al., 1997; Franca et al., 2006). Variations in the counter-ions and in the R group can be important to modulate the volatility of these compounds favouring their application in MOCVD techniques. The title complex, (I), which is quite stable under ambient conditions, comprises a complex dianion and two tetraphenylphosphonium cations, with the formula (Ph4P)2(Ni(C8H17SO2N=CS2)2)2-, Figs 1 & 2.
The NiII ion is located in a twofold axis of symmetry being coordinated by four sulfur atoms from the dithiocarbimate dianion in a square planar coordination environment, Fig. 1 & Table 1. The Ni centre is located at 0.083 (1) Å out of the plane through the 4 S atoms. The resultant 4-membered Ni/S1/C1/S2 chelate ring shows a folded conformation [C&P Q(2) of 0.113 (3) Å; (Cremer & Pople, 1975)], giving the torsion angles S1i—Ni—S2—C1 and S2i—Ni—S1—C1 of 169.5 (2)° and -169.4 (2)°, respectively [symmetry code: (i) -x, y, -z + 1/2]. These values are outside the range from 174° to 180° observed in the related structures, with the smaller value found in (C14H10N2NiO4S6)2-.2(C24H20P)+ (Hummel & Korn, 1989), showing an higher distortion of the chelate ring in (I). This might be caused by the requirements of the packing of the counterion.
The conformation of (I) is stabilized by a weak intra-molecular H-bond of type C2–H2B···S2 (Table 2), which defines the torsion angle C1–N1–S3–C2 of -63.9 (4)°. Due to the flexibility of the long C chain, disorder was evident [see Experimental] so that the only bond distances determined reliably were C2—C3 [1.517 (7) Å] and C3—C4 [1.507 (7) Å]. The other C—C bonds were restrained to 1.54 Å and the chain conformation might be described, starting from the torsion angle about the C2–C3 bond, as: trans, gauche, trans, trans, cis, respectively. The actual torsion angles deviate from the ideal 0°, 60° and 180° due to repulsion due to the neighbouring molecules' C chains.
