Abstract: | The structures of Ni(NCS)2(4-PhPy)4·4DMSO and Ni(NCS)2(3-MePy)4·CHCl3 have been elucidated. Movement of guest molecules through channels in the host structure was simulated by potential energy calculations. Ni(NCS)2(3,5-diMePy)4 does not form inclusion compounds. An intra-molecular potential energy study shows that theortho-hydrogens on the 3,5-dimethylpyridine ligands control the conformation of the molecule. The same result is obtained with the 4-methylpyridine ligand, which suggests that the extent of rotation of substituted pyridines about the Ni–N bounds is not a factor governing clathrate formation.
