In the title complex, (C7H12NS)[Ni(C3S5)2], the dihedral angle between the thia­zole ring of the cation and the plane of the anion is 8.0 (2)°. In the crystal structure, S...S inter­molecular inter­actions between the anions form a distorted honeycomb structure parallel to the (002) plane, with cavities ∼12.34 Å in diameter. The cavities are filled with cations. The cations and anions are linked via S...S [3.6657 (15) and 3.6240 (15) Å] and C—H...S inter­actions.

Comment top

The control of molecular organization in the solid state is an important theme of coordination chemistry. Self-assembled metal complexes with specific network topologies attract great attention due to their potential applications as functional solid materials, as well as their fascinating framework structures, especially the 'honeycomb' structure (Gardner et al., 1995). In the construction of diverse networks, there is preference for the use of directional intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds (Frankenbach & Etter 1992), metal–ligand coordination bonds (Abrahams et al., 1994), and donor–acceptor interactions (Russell et al., 1994). This approach is based on the premise that if these interactions dominate the crystal field, then the solid-state structure should follow from the directional preferences associated with these interactions. Metal complexes with 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) ligand have drawn our attention to the role of S···S interaction between anions and cations, because conduction pathways between cation and anion may be constructed by S···S interactions. In order to explore new crystal structures of dmit complexes and to gain more insight into the structure-regulating ability of S···S interactions between anion and cation, the title complex salt (I) has been synthesized and analysed by X-ray crystallography.

The asymmetric unit of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The Ni—S distances range from 2.1551 (11) to 2.1703 (10) Å, with an average of 2.163 (6) Å, and the cis-S—Ni—S angles range from 85.02 (4) to 93.13 (4)° (Table 1). Therefore, the NiS4 geometry is slightly distorted square-planar. The whole [Ni(dmit)2]- anion is essentially planar, although the planes of the two coordinated C3S52- ligands make a dihedral angle of 2.83 (6)°. In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the anions and cations are almost parallel. The dihedral angle and distance between the thiazole ring of the cation and plane of the anion are 8.0 (2)° and 3.633 Å, respectively. The C13—C12—N1—C9 [92.3 (5)°] and S11—C9—C10—C11 [-8.3 (5)°] torsion angles indicate that one of the ethyl groups is almost coplanar with the thiazolium ring and in the other group, the C(sp3)—C(sp3) bond is oriented perpendicular to the thiazolium ring. The anions are arranged in a zigzag manner along the c axis (Fig. 2).

In the crystal structure of (I), four S···S contacts shorter than 3.70 Å, the sum of van der Waals radii, are observed and are shown in Fig. 3 by dotted lines. Of the four contacts, two are between anions [S5···S10i and S7···S9iii] and the other two are between anion and cation [S5···S11ii and S9···S11iii] (see Table 1 for distances and symmetry codes); two [Ni(dmit)2]- anions form a quasi-dimeric structure. Inversion related anions at (x, y, z) and (1 - x, 2 - y, -z) are stacked along the a axis, without any significant S···S contacts; the shortest contact of 3.7490 (15) Å is observed between S3 and S7.

In the crystal structure, the anions form a distorted honeycomb structure parallel to the (002) plane. The cavity size is 12.34 Å in diameter as measured by the average of three Ni···Ni distances. The cavities are filled with cations. The cations and anions are linked through the S···S interactions, as mentioned above, and via the C12–H12A···S6(-x,2 - y,-z) interactions [H···S = 2.86 Å].

The electrical conductivity of crystal measured by the two-probe alternating current method was 10-7 S cm-1 at room temperature, which is not very high among the (cation):[Ni(dmit)2] type of 1:1 complexes.

Experimental top

All starting materials were of reagent grade and used as purchased. 2,3-Diethylthiazolium bromide was synthesized as follows: Ethyl bromide (10 mmol) was mixed with 2-methylthiazole (1 mmol) and the resultant solid was filtered and washed several times by diethyl ether to give 2,3-diethylthiazolium bromide. (Bu4N)[Ni(dmit)2] was synthesized according to the literature method (Steimecke et al., 1979). Compound (I) was prepared by the cation-exchange method by slow interdiffusion of an acetone solution (25 ml) of (Bu4N)[Ni(dmit)2] (0.05 mol) and a chloroform–methanol solution (50 ml; 4:1) of 2,3-diethylthiazolium bromide (0.10 mol) at room temperature. Black plate crystals of suitable size for X-ray diffraction and conductivity measurement were obtained.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their attached atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) [or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups].

Experimental. The first 50 frames were rescanned at the end of data collection to evaluate any possible decay phenomenon. Since it was judged to be negligible, no decay correction was applied to the data.

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.
