In the title compound, [Ni(C16H32N4)](C14H14O2PS2)2 or [Ni(trans[14]dien)][S2P(OC6H4Me-4)2]2, where trans[14]dien is meso-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene, the NiII ion lies across a centre of inversion and is four-coordinated in a relatively undistorted square-planar arrangement by the four N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand trans[14]dien. The two O,O'-di(4-methylphenyl)dithiophosphates act as counter-ions to balance the charge. Important geometric data include Ni-N = 1.9135 (16) and 1.9364 (15) Å.
meso-5,7,7,12,14,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,1 l-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4, 11-diene nickel(II) perchlorate(2 mmol 1.28 g) was added to a solution of diethylammonium O,O'-di(4-methylphenyl)dithiophosphate (4 mmol 1.534 g) in 60 ml methanol. The mixture was refluxed for 8 h at 353 K and then filtered. The filtrate was kept at room temperature and orange block crystals were obtained after 4 days.
H atoms on C were fixed geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.96Å (methyl) or 0.93Å (aromatic) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,methylene and aromatic) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C,methyl). The H atoms on N were determined with difference Fourier syntheses and refined isotropically.

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. |

As part of an investigation to the potential applications of tetramine macrocyclic transition metal complexs as artificial enzyme models, we have recently reported the structures of [Ni(teta)][S2P(OCH2Ph)2]2, where teta is meso-5,5,7,12,12,14- hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (Xie et al., 2008). Here we report the structure of [Ni(trans[14]dien)] [S2P(OC6H4Me-4)2]2, where trans[14]dien is meso-5,7,7,12,14,14- hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene.
In the title compound, the NiII atom exhibits a relatively undistorted square-planar geometry (Fig.1), which lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand trans[14]dien. The two O,O'-di(4-methylphenyl) dithiophosphates only act as counter-ions to balance the charge.All the bond lengths and angles in the complex are generally within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).
