Crystal structure of hexadimethylsulfoxidenickel(II) tetraisothiocyanatozincate

A new complex, hexadimethylsulfoxidenickel(II) tetraisothiocyanatozincate [Ni(DMSO)₆][Zn(NCS)₄](I), is synthesized. Its crystal structure is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound I forms light green, monoclinic crystals shaped like plates: a = 8.4358(8) Å ,b = 21.655(2) Å, c = 10.8351(8) Å = 105.162(7)°, V = 1910.4(3) ų, space group P2₁/m, Z = 2, (calcd) = 1.434 g/cm ³ , µ= 1.699mm ^–1. The Zn atom has a tetrahedral environment, while the Ni atom has an octahedral environment.Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 30, No. 12, 2004, pp. 939–942.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Cherkasova, Tsalko.
