3,5-Dimethyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium bis(benzene-1,2-dithiolato-κ2S,S′)nickelate(III)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C14H15N2O2)[Ni(C6H4S2)2], contains one cation and two halves of two centrosymmetric crystallographically independent anions. In the anions, the NiIIIatoms are coordinated by four S atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the cation, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 88.66 (17)°. In the crystal, anions and cations interact through C—H...S and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
