A double CS2-bridged nickel complex. New synthesis and crystal structure of [(PPh3)Ni(µ-CS2)2Ni(PPh3)]
Abstract
The reaction of [(PPh3)2Ni(C3Ph3)]BPh4 with CS2 gives [(PPh3)Ni(µ-CS2)]2, whose molecular structure, determined by an X-ray analysis, consists of dimeric centrosymetric molecules in which the metal atoms are held together by two bridging CS2 groups.
