Abstract

The complex [1-(4′-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium]2[Ni(dto) 2] (dto2- means clithiooxalate dianion) has been prepared by reaction of Na2[Ni(S2C2O2) 2] and the 1-(4′-fluorobenzyl) pyridinium chloride salt. The crystallographic data for the title complex: triclinic P1, a = 8.5698(8) Å, b =9.3461(9) Å, c = 10.5361(10) Å, α = 67.177 (2)°, β = 67.398(2)°, γ = 79.611(2)°, V = 717.59(12) Å3, Z = 1. The [Ni(dto)2]2- anion with the Ni atom lying on an inversion center and exhibits a quasi-planar structure. An extensive hydrogen bond network of C - H⋯ O is clearly observed. The nature and size of cation seems to play an important factor in the type of intermolecular interactions as well as the crystal packing in this kind of complexes.
