Isolation and crystal structure of a novel dinuclear nickel(II) O-bound sulfinate from the oxidation of 2,2′-bipyridine-1,2-benzenedithiolatonickel(II)

Abstract

The first example of an O-bound sulfinate diimine nickel(II) complex has been isolated from the partial oxidation of Ni(bpy)(bdt) 1 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, bdt = 1,2-benzenedithiolate), and characterized by X-ray crystallography and ESI-MS.
