Benzene-1,2-dithiol (142 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of sodium metal (46 mg, 2.0 mmol) in absolute ethanol (25 ml), under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and then a solution of NiCl2.6H2O (120 mg, 0.5 mmol) in ethanol (25 ml) was added, resulting in a mixture turning a muddy red–brown color. Following this, [NCBzPyCH3]Br (289 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added and the mixture allowed to stand with stirring for 1 h, and then stirred for an additional 24 h in air. The color of the mixture gradually turned green, indicating oxidation from a dianionic species to the more stable monoanionic form. The precipitate was washed with absolute ethanol and diethyl ether and then dried. The crude product was recrystallized twice from dichloromethane to give the title compound (yield; 241 mg, 69%, m.p. 483–485 K).
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93, 0.97 and 0.96 Å for aromatic, methylene and methyl H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H, and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.
Since their discovery in 1963, square planar bis(benzene-1,2-dithiolato)metal complexes have received considerable attention due to their interesting and often unusual electronic structures. It has been established that the square planar complexes [M(L)2]2-, [M(L)2]-, and [M(L)2]0 (where M = Ni, Pt) form a three membered electron-transfer series, where the neutral species and the dianionic forms are diamagnetic (S = 0), whereas the monoanions are paramagnetic (S = 1/2) (de Caro et al., 2004; Ray et al., 2005). In our previous research using benzylpyridinium derivatives ([RBzPy]+) as the counter-cation of TCNQ- (where TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethanide), a series of ion-pair compounds with segregated columnar stacks of cations and anions has been prepared (Liu, 2007; Liu et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2006). The quasi one-dimensional magnetic nature of these compounds was attributed to intermolecular-orbital interactions within the anionic columns. As an extension of our work on this series of complexes, we herein report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The asymmetric unit of (I), contains two (C14H13N2)+ cations, one and two halves centrosymmetric [Ni(C6H4S2)2] anions. In the anions, the Ni ions are surrounded by four S atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between (Ni1/S5/S6/C41/C46) and (Ni1/S5A/S6A/C41A/C46A) planes is 18.98 (2)° [symmetry code (A): -x, y, 1/2 - z]. It is peculiar and interesting. The Ni—S bond lengths and S—Ni—S bond angles (Table 1) are in agreement with the corresponding values in analogous complexes (Sellmann et al., 1991; Xie et al., 2002). The cations have Λ-shaped conformations with the dihedral angles of A/B = 65.03 (3), A/C = 46.37 (4), B/C = 86.96 (4) ° and D/E = 60.62 (3), D/F = 59.72 (3), E/F = 83.56 (4) ° between A (C5/C8/N1), B (C2—C7), C (N1/C9—C13) and D (C19/C22/N2), E (C16—C21), F (N2/C23—C28) planes.
In the crystal structure, the packing of the two anions is different (Fig. 2). The Ni1, Ni3-containing anions stack in a face-to-face fashion with an alternating arrangement of anions and cations, such that the pyridine ring of the cation lies above the benzene ring of the anion. The shortest distance between the adjacent NiIII ions is 7.245 (2) Å. The Ni2-containing anions stack in a side by side fashion with C—H···S interactions (Table 2).

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. |

Since their discovery in 1963, square planar bis(benzene-1,2-dithiolato)metal complexes have received considerable attention due to their interesting and often unusual electronic structures. It has been established that the square planar complexes [M(L)2]2-, [M(L)2]-, and [M(L)2]0 (where M = Ni, Pt) form a three membered electron-transfer series, where the neutral species and the dianionic forms are diamagnetic (S = 0), whereas the monoanions are paramagnetic (S = 1/2) (de Caro et al., 2004; Ray et al., 2005). In our previous research using benzylpyridinium derivatives ([RBzPy]+) as the counter-cation of TCNQ- (where TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethanide), a series of ion-pair compounds with segregated columnar stacks of cations and anions has been prepared (Liu, 2007; Liu et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2006). The quasi one-dimensional magnetic nature of these compounds was attributed to intermolecular-orbital interactions within the anionic columns. As an extension of our work on this series of complexes, we herein report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The asymmetric unit of (I), contains two (C14H13N2)+ cations, one and two halves centrosymmetric [Ni(C6H4S2)2] anions. In the anions, the Ni ions are surrounded by four S atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between (Ni1/S5/S6/C41/C46) and (Ni1/S5A/S6A/C41A/C46A) planes is 18.98 (2)° [symmetry code (A): -x, y, 1/2 - z]. It is peculiar and interesting. The Ni—S bond lengths and S—Ni—S bond angles (Table 1) are in agreement with the corresponding values in analogous complexes (Sellmann et al., 1991; Xie et al., 2002). The cations have Λ-shaped conformations with the dihedral angles of A/B = 65.03 (3), A/C = 46.37 (4), B/C = 86.96 (4) ° and D/E = 60.62 (3), D/F = 59.72 (3), E/F = 83.56 (4) ° between A (C5/C8/N1), B (C2—C7), C (N1/C9—C13) and D (C19/C22/N2), E (C16—C21), F (N2/C23—C28) planes.
In the crystal structure, the packing of the two anions is different (Fig. 2). The Ni1, Ni3-containing anions stack in a face-to-face fashion with an alternating arrangement of anions and cations, such that the pyridine ring of the cation lies above the benzene ring of the anion. The shortest distance between the adjacent NiIII ions is 7.245 (2) Å. The Ni2-containing anions stack in a side by side fashion with C—H···S interactions (Table 2).
