An extended nickel dithiolene complex: molecular electronic materials based on planar bimetallic subunits
Abstract
The species Ni2C2S4{S2C2S2C2(CO2Me)2}2, a new type of molecular electronic component, forms in good yield via two oxidation steps from [Ni{S2C2S2C2(CO2Me)2}2]2–; the extended planar structure of the intermediate [Ni2C2S4{S2C2S2(CO2Me)2}2]2– was confirmed crystallographically.
