Bis(O,O′-diphenethyl dithiophosphato-κ2S,S′)bis(4-methylpyridine-κN)nickel(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Ni(C16H18O2PS2)2(C6H7N)2], exhibits a roughly octahedral coordination geometry. The NiII atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four S atoms of O,O′-diphenethyl dithiophosphate molecules and two N atoms of 4-methylpyridine molecules. Important geometric data include Ni—N = 2.100 (3) Å, and Ni—S = 2.5101 (10) and 2.4772 (11) Å.
