Abstract
The crystal structure is given for the dimethyldodecylhexadecylammonium bis(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato)-nickelate(III) complex salt. The compound crystallizes in a triclinic system, spaces group P1 and Z = 2 with cell parameters a = 7.6149(5)Å, b = 12.2245(9)Å, c = 24.2399(17)Å, α = 84.5750(10)°, β = 87.9670(10)°, γ = 86.7670(10)°, V = 2241.7(3)Å3. The crystal packing is stabilized by short intermolecular S…S contacts between neighboring [Ni(dmit)2]-anions and hydrophobic interactions between the countercations.
