Diisothio­cyanato­tetra­kis­(1-meth­yl-1H-imidazole-κN³)nickel(II)

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(NCS)₂(C₄H₆N₂)₄], consists of isolated mol­ecules of [Ni(NCS)₂(Mim)₄] (Mim = 1-methyl­imidazole), which contain a compressed octa­hedral NiN₆ chromophore. The NCS⁻ anions are trans and four N atoms from the 1-methyl­imidazole ligands define the equatorial plane. The mean Ni—N(Mim) and Ni—N(NCS) distances are 2.115 (4) and 2.087 (4) Å, respectively.

Bis[(diphenyl­phosphino)acetato-κ²O,P]palladium(II) dichloro­methane solvate

The title compound, [Pd(C₁₄H₁₂O₂P)₂]·CH₂Cl₂, consists of mononuclear [(Ph₂PCH₂COO)₂Pd] complexes and dichloro­methane mol­ecules in a 1:1 molar ratio. The two (diphenyl­phosphino)acetate ligands are coordinated to the central Pd atom by their P and O atoms, forming five-membered chelate rings. The Pd^II atom has a distorted square-planar configuration [Pd—O = 2.076 (3) and 2.082 (3) Å, and Pd—P = 2.214 (1) and 2.216 (1) Å].
