ABSTRACT
A sulfur-rich nickel complex has been synthesized by the reaction between 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson's reagent) and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O in 2-propanol. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 31P NMR spectroscopies, and molar conductivity. Also, the crystal structure of the complex has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, which illustrates a slightly distorted square planar environment around Ni(II) ion in solid. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the complex shows 3D network through intermolecular C-H···Ni, C-H···O, and C-H···S hydrogen bonds and C–H···π interaction.
