Solvent-induced 1,3-N,S- vs. 1,5-S,S′-coordination in the NiII complex [Ni{p-Me2NC6H4NHC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)2}2]†
Abstract
Reaction of the deprotonated N-thiophosphorylated thiourea p-Me2NC6H4NHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)2 (HL) with NiCl2 leads to violet [Ni(L-1,3-N,S)2] or dark violet [Ni(L-1,5-S,S′)2]·(CH3)2CO crystals that were isolated by
