Abstract

Two new salts, [oClBzTPP] +2 [Ni(mnt)2]2−(1) and [oClBzTPP]+[Ni(mnt)2](2) ([oClBzTPP]+ = 1-(2′-chlorobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium and mnt2− = maleonitriledithiolate) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, UV, IR, MS spectra, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility. The Ni ions of the Ni(mnt)2 anions for 1 and 2 exhibit the square-planar coordination geometry. The Ni(III) ions of 2 form a 1D zigzag alternating magnetic chain within a Ni(mnt) 2 column through Ni···S, S···S, or Ni···Ni interactions. The C–H···N, C–H···S, C–H···π hydrogen bonds or π···π stacking interactions play important roles in the molecular stabilizing and stacking of 1 and 2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.8−300 K show that 2 exhibits diamagnetic behavior.
