Tetraethylammonium trichloro(triphenylphosphine)nickelate(II)

M. C. Smith, S. C. Davies, D. L. Hughes and D. J. Evans

Abstract: The ions of the title compound, (C₈H₂₀N)[NiCl₃(C₁₈H₁₅P)], both lie on the threefold rotation axes along the body diagonal vectors of a cubic unit cell in the space group Pb $\overline 3$ (equivalent to Pa $\overline 3$ , No. 205, with h and k indices interchanged). The Ni atom within the anion is tetrahedrally coordinated to three symmetry-related Cl atoms and the P atom. The cation is disordered.
