The starting material, MTIT perchlorate, was prepared according to a known protocol (Babichev & Romanov, 1975). The title compound, (I), was prepared from equimolar quantities of [MTIT]+·ClO4− and K2[Ni(CN)4] in an acetonitrile/propanol/water system (Yegorova et al., 2002). [MTIT]+·ClO4− (306 mg, 0.64 mmol) in acetonitrile (150 ml) was mixed with K2[Ni(CN)4] (120 mg) in a 2-propanol–water mixture (1:1, 30 ml). This mixture was heated to boiling point for 10 min and then cooled slowly to 273 K. Formation of a black–green crystalline precipitate was observed. This crystalline product was decantated, washed with water and 2-propanol, and dried at 313 K. The amount of Ni in (I) was determined by ICP atomic emission spectroscopy, and no K was found in the analyzed samples. By IR spectroscopy, the cyanine fingerprint was observed with the addition of a CN band at 2110 cm−1. The characteristic perchlorate bands at 630 and 1100 cm−1 were absent. The UV–vis spectra show the dye bands at 590 (shoulder) and 636 nm, and a new band, at 770 nm, was attributed to an NiII transition.
The methyl H atoms in the [MTIT]+ cation were included in calulated positions and refined as riding atoms [C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)]. The remainder of the H atoms were located in difference Fourier syntheses; the atomic parameters were initially refined and then held fixed (C—H = 0.88–0.98 Å), with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

The study of the title compound, (I), was undertaken to establish its three dimensional structure. To our knowledge only one other cyanine molecular complex, [cy+·AuCl2−] has been reported to date (Falkenberg et al., 1973).
The molecular strucure of (I), consisting of two 1-methyl-5-[3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazolo[5,1-a]isoindol-5-yl)- allylidene]-5H-tetrazolo[5,1-a]isoindol-1-ium monocations, [MTIT]+, and an [Ni(CN)4]2− dianion, is illustrated in Fig. 1. Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. The organic [MTIT]+ cation is planar and the C—C bonds lengths range from 1.370 (9) to 1.457 (7) Å, thus indicating the aromaticity of the dye molecule. Both [MTIT]+ cations possess identical geometry in the carbon–nitrogen skeleton.
The geometry of the [Ni(CN)4]2− anion is typical for a square-planar Ni atom with four CN groups (Table 1). The Ni atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. These flat anions are located parallel to one another at a distance of 6.83 (s.u.?) Å, forming stacks. The stacks are inclined to the ac plane at 60 (s.u.?) and 120 (s.u.?)°, and are staggered (Fig. 2).
The [MTIT]+ dye cations are stacked stepwise with two oppositely oriented molecules. The [Ni(CN)4]2− anion is located between these steps, and the Ni···C distances are ca 3.796 and 3.739 Å, thus indicating additional interactions of the Ni atoms with the conjugated system of the dye (Fig. 3).
The N atoms of the CN groups are bound to the [MTIT]+ dye cations via C—H···N hydrogen bonds (the N···H distances are 2.432–2.530 Å [not in accord with Table 2]). Each [Ni(CN)4]2− anion has three N···H contacts with two dye molecules that lie in one plane (Table 2). These molecules are axial to the Ni atoms. One more pair of N···H contacts is formed with two dye molecules that are almost perpendicular to the plane of the [Ni(CN)4]2− complex anion. This situtation is shown in Fig. 4 and details are given in Table 2.
In view of these stabilizating interactions, (I) can be considered not as a simple cation–anion salt but as a molecular complex with specific intermolecular interactions.
