Abstract
New nickel, cobalt and copper complexes with benzene-1,2-dithiole (bdt), of general formula R[M(bdt)2]: M = Ni, Co and Cu; R = Me4N, Et4N, Pr4N, Me3PhN, MePh3P, Ph4P have been synthesized and characterized by standard physico-chemical methods (elemental analyses, magnetochemical and conductivity measurements, i.r. and u.v.–;vis. spectroscopy). X-ray structural analysis of (MePh3P)[M(bdt)2], M = Ni, Co and Cu, confirms that the MS4 chromophore lies in a slightly distorted square coordination arrangement around the central atom. The three complexes have also been studied by cyclic voltammetry.
