Halogen substitution effects on crystal structures and magnetic properties in nickel dithiolate molecular crystals

Abstract

A series of nickel dithiolene molecular crystals [Et3N(CH2)3X][Ni(mnt)2] (1:X=H, 2: X=Cl, 3:X=Br and 4:X=I and Br; mnt2- = maleonitriledithiolate) were prepared through introducing triethylpropylammonium derivatives (X-CH2CH2CH2-NEt3+) into [Ni(mnt)2]−building blocks. 1...
