Abstract

The reactions of NiCl2·6H2O with the thiolate ligands HSC5H3N-3-SiMe3, HSC6H4-2-PPh2 and HSC6H3- 6-SiMe3-2-OPPh2 yield the planar mononuclear species [Ni(SC5H3N-3-SiMe3)2], [Ni(SC6H4-2-PPh2)2] and [Ni(SC6H3-6-SiMe3-2-OPPh2)2], respectively. The complexes are electrochemically active, displaying Ni(II)/Ni(III) oxidation processes in the high potential range common to most synthetic Ni(II) complexes. Crystal data: C16H24N2Si2S2Ni: monoclinic P21/n, a = 6.697(1), b = 10.932(2), c = 14.108(3) Å, β = 95.31(1)°, V = 1028.9(8) Å3, Z = 2, D = 1.366 g cm-3. C36H28P2S2Ni: triclinic P1, a = 9.349(3), b = 10.673(3), c = 9.259(2) Å, α = 105.35(1), β = 118.52(1), γ = 91.86(1)°, V = 799.0(9) Å3, Z = 1, D = 1.393 g cm-3. C42H44O2Si2P2S2Ni: monoclinic P21n, a = 12.015(2), b = 27.458(5), c = 12.959(3) Å, β = 96.37(1)°, V = 4248.9(12) Å3, Z = 4, D = 1.285 g cm-3.
