Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, C44H56NS4Ni, are reported. Crystals are triclinic, space groupP¯1 (No. 2) withZ=2 in a unit cell of dimensionsa=8.874(2) Å,b=9.549(5) Å,c=26.025(7) Å,α=97.22(3)°,β=95.06(2)°, andγ=98.75(3)°. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least squares toR=0.062 for 2910 unique diffractometer data. The metal atom of the anion has an approximate square-planar configuration and the nitrogen atom of the cation an approximate tetrahedral configuration. The anions as well as the cations are well separated, the closest Ni⋯Ni and N⋯N approaches being the lattice repeat of 8.874(2) Å.
