Abstract

Reaction of (NEt4)2NiCl4 with HSCH2SiMe3 in acetonitrile yields lustrous dark brown crystals of [Ni(SR)2]5 (1). The structure of 1 consists of a nearly regular pentagon of Ni atoms, bridged by pairs of thiolate ligands and represents an unusual example of a pentametallic "tiara" structure. Crystal data: space group P21/c; a = 16.483(3), b = 22.219(4), c = 23.439(4) Å, β = 108.07(1)°, V = 8160.5(13) Å3; current R = 0.0611, based on 6246 reflections.
