Abstract
In this study, we prepared a salt, (ImH)[Ni(dmit)2]2 (1; ImH+ = imidazolium; dmit2− = 2-thioxo-1, 3-dithiole-4, 5-dithiolate), by a facile approach of chemical oxidation together with solvent evaporation at ambient condition. (1) was characterized by microanalysis for C, H and N elements, IR spectroscopy, TG and DSC techniques. 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P − 1, with two different [Ni(dmit)2] species (Ni1 and Ni2) and one ImH+ cation in an asymmetric unit. The characteristic C[dbnd]C, C–S and Ni–S bond lengths in [Ni(dmit)2] species demonstrated that the valences of two different [Ni(dmit)2] species are −0.5. The anions form dimeric stacks in 1, which are further connected into monolayers by inter-stack S…S interactions. 1 shows semiconducting feature with σDC = 1.45 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 293 K and Ea = 0.17 eV; and smaller Weiss constant (−0.67 K) owing to the magnetic couplings being achieved through weak dipole–dipole interactions.
