Pseudo-S6 Complex Cations of a Hexakis-N-methylformamide Nickel(II) Complex

摘要

The nickel(II) complex [Ni(NMF)₆](BPh₄)₂ [NMF = N-methylformamide] [hexakis(N-methylformamide-κO)nickel(II) bis(tetraphenylborate)] was prepared, and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 and Z = 2 with the following cell parameters: a = 10.680(2)Å, b = 13.271(3)Å, c = 19.960(4)Å, α = 86.043(6)°, β = 84.483(6)°, γ = 87.335(7)°, V = 2807.0(10)Å3. Two types of [Ni(NMF)₆]2+ cations are found in a crystal, but both have a pseudo-S₆ symmetry.
